Nietsche was pro-Islam (for confused European reasons). He saw it as still having vitalism in it.

You seem very committed to defending anti-Semitism as a label. We should be rejecting our enemies painting us as chauvinists.

Do you identify as an anti-Semite or something?

    My position remains the same.

    I think Mamdani is completely incorrect here. He's ceding ground to the Zionist framing that anti-Semitism=anti-Zionism.

    If he were serious about combating anti-Semitism, he'd shut down west bank land sales, cut funding to Zionist institutions, and cut NYC's ties to Israel (not that combating anti-Semitism would be the primary reason to take that action).

    Youre bringing in a bunch of shit neither I nor Nietzsche gestured at. I'm obviously against the weaponizarion of so-called anti-Semitism by Zionist. I unequivocally support Hamas, Ansarallah and the Axis of Resistance against the Zionist entity.

    So, I'm a little confused by your posturing. Are you against against actual anti-Semites or not?

    I would maintain that anti-semites, like all chauvinists, should be suppressed.

    Israel isnt suppressing anti-semites, to hold the line that they are is to buy into their narrative that Zionism=Judaism. This is an incorrect belief that our enemies want us to believe.

    He's def a reactionary, but he's witty and has some useful insights. I think he's an enemy of socialism that's worth reading.

    I think his writing on the death of God is especially poignant, and we are still living through the death of God.

    He also wrote that all anti-semites should be shot.

    I don't understand your criticism.

    People don't call themselves ultra leftist. They call other people that when they take positions that are in advance of what's currently possible as an effective action

    For example, advocating for an armed insurrection in the US and gathering a dozen people to storm the Pentagon the next weekend would be ultra leftism.

    So that advocate might be a communist, but theyre taking an action that won't advance the movement and will just get them and their comrades killed.

    Ultra leftism is the flip side of tailism or right opportunism

    Since he started campaigning with Kamala and distancing himself from Hasan, I've become completely skeptical of him.

    I don't like Hasan, but he had Abdul's back in this race. Hasan hasn't changed, and he knew who Hasan was when he chose to campaign with him. This speaks poorly of Abdul's character; loyalty means something.

    Similarly, Kamala is a genocide enabling loser. I don't trust the political instincts or principles of someone who campaigns with her.
