    As a reminder, the typical Trot position on Palestine is a belief in the mythical Israeli proletariat and easily coopted ceasefire rhetoric. They cannot have solidarity with the PFLP or even just Gazans directly. They only care about Palestinian Trots insofar as their own messaging is crafted.

    I think MUG are the cosmonautmag.com people and that’s not their position at all

      This is true, to am extent. But their origins hail from offshoots of offshoots of Trotskyists and it bleeds through regularly. For example, their reoeated platforming of Dan Lazare, ardent believer in the Israeli working class and repeater od Zionist narratives gussied up with Marxish language.

      Definitely do temper your expectations. Nearly every MUG person I’ve ever met has bee milquetoast as shit, including parts of their leadership.
