I’m reminded of an excerpt from Blackshirts & Reds:

I listened to an East German friend complain of poor services and inferior products; the system did not work, he concluded. But what of the numerous social benefits so lacking in much of the world, I asked, aren’t these to be valued? His response was revealing: “Oh, nobody ever talks about that.” People took for granted what they had in the way of human services and entitlements while hungering for the consumer goods dangling in their imaginations.

The human capacity for discontent should not be underestimated. People cannot live on the social wage alone.

American imperialism, the devastation of WWII, and capitalist concessions all allowed for higher living standards for white Americans and others in the imperial core. Plenty of people were attracted to the West due to the perceived material conditions. And as you said, the Western working class will see fewer crumbs as capitalism decays and the world enters multi-polarity. I only hope that it results in a resurgence in communist movements in the West.

Has anyone been able to verify the claims that Soroka Medical Center is close to the IDF C4I HQ? https://xcancel.com/araghchi/status/1935684685666963780#m I wanted to find and share some more Western acceptable sources, but even Aljazeera only frames it as claims from Iran: https://aje.io/ac1txh?update=3786132

It should go without saying, none of this negates that fact that Israel places military targets in population centers or that Israeli citizens are trapped in the country as human shields.
