If 'pro-Palestine' leaders can see 3 years of genocide and still condemn the resistance before or after condemning the perpetrators - they are not going to save us from fascists.

being a social-fascist makes you controlled opposition. regardless of whether he has a cia handler or just a dnc handler, mamdani materially supports the continuation and expansion of empire, including in palestine. an fdr for the modern day.

    Having a handler is actually quite a crucial element in determining if someone is controlled opposition or not. If you want to argue against social-democrats, please do so, but you should not allow yourself to be content with a level of analysis that doesn't go further than just slapping any insult on everyone from any political current we disagree with. Marxism has the tools to construct much better critiques, which will also help you much more in popularising our message.

    or just a dnc handler

    He doesn't even have a DNC handler. Have you watched the news recently? The democratic party is behaving completely hysterical because some social-democrats are winning in their primaries.

    okay, well then the word is social-fascist. he absolutely does have contact with the dnc, which is why he is allowed to run in their party. the fact that some democrats kind of don't like their coworkers doesn't render them materially enemies. for the same reason that republicans run on moderate democrats being communists, moderate democrats run on social democrats being communists.

    i don't think you were arguing against this but i do think it deserves special attention. the reason social democrats are social-fascists is that they materially support and uphold imperialism. lenin notes in chapter 6 of Imperialism that one of the chief drivers of imperialism is the need to provide stability at home. in order to do that, you need some mechanism to transfer superprofits to people who otherwise would be rioting in the streets. social democrats provide that mechanism. their job is to force the capitalists to take their medicine. and to bring it back to the above, "of course they meet in rooms"
