Bad when MLs do it instead of collective action, yes. For those of us able to organize or do mutual aid, things like that. Not possible for everyone, especially in a place as fragmented as the US. I do not blame this fellow for what he did, I blame the US for driving him to this, and I blame the US for whatever happens afterwards.
The more they suppress the protests, the more legitimacy they lose.
The Hind Rajab Foundation can only hold people to account when they can be arrested for war crimes. It isn’t as though the Washington DC PD would be willing to arrest war criminals.
The oligarchy has made peaceful revolution impossible.
Was this adventurism? Maybe this is the way to push the Palestine solidarity movement in the usa into the next phase of resistance. Maybe this man’s actions will open the path for collective discussions of future actions of this type. The taboo on even discussing violence wasn’t going to break itself.
The things I mentioned that are non violent, are collective action, but it doesn’t seem to be that effective. That’s why you see people deciding to do violence
the trick to successful adventurism is to hit someone or something that the vast majority of the public already hate, like a health insurance ceo or shinzo abe
i do not give a fuck about the low-level “israeli” bureaucrat schlubs that got shot but they weren’t a particularly good target tbh
though obviously as an ML i think adventurism in general is a bad idea, sometimes direct action does indeed get the goods
Well the people at the top, everywhere in the west, are already using this as a way to further beat down on pro Palestine protests.
Adventurism bad.

They would’ve done it either way. More repression leads to more civil unrest, more civil unrest in the imperial core is good in my book.
Collective action is better, but until that bears fruit adventurism can be useful sometimes

People have tried protesting. Writing articles, and boycotting.
The state has responded with violence.
You can say that adventurism is bad, but what else is there?
The alternative to individual action is collective action. Not that I’m expressing a personal opinion either way…

The western left are scared of collective violent action. Individualism is a real fuck.
They would always find something or someone to use an excuse.
Also just after IOF shoots at Diplomats.
