they're not necessarily opposing viewpoints. revolution can be inevitable whilst still requiring a human action to start it

No doubt. Free palestine.

I would absolutely support a 2 state solution as the first step in advancement of Palestinian regional power. It would not tackle the fundamental issue however, nor do I even remotely believe Israel would give up their west bank settlements and give the Palestinians a state willingly.

Do you think people in Gaza don't want the Zionist entity to be dismantled in it's entirety? The only way to end the antagonism of settler colonialism is to overthrow the perpetrators, otherwise it will end up in the same place indigenous Americans are

It isn't utopian idealism. There will be no justice until there is a single, secular state in which Palestinian refugees across the world can have the right of return

Decolonisation = ultra left 🥴 PFLP supports single secular state, Hamas said they would accept 1967 borders but it's by no means ideal for them.

Outwardly supporting Hamas has sadly gotten a few people arrested but I don't think supporting a secular, one state solution with right of return would

Definitely agree - but I also think the British left should focus more on building class power in oppressed communities(in a geographical sense, but also focussing mainly on imperialised communities like racially oppressed people who are more likely to support Socialism than labour aristocrats) rather than trying to recruit university students and flogging any kind of newspaper or magazine or book in the city centre where mostly just well-off shoppers are found. The masses must be convinced to trust us - we cannot simply just expect them to listen just because it's in broadsheet print.

Re-building communist power in unions is also important, as is trying to stop them from becoming increasingly establishmentarian.

2 states wouldn't allow full right of return. no justice, no peace

British people seem incapable of reason at this point lol, I don't wanna live here anymore but I can't abandon my shared responsibility to fix this shitfuck of a nation.

Don't get me wrong, I buy Morning Star often as it is an important paper as the only daily voice for Socialism in Britain, however this article is undoubtedly a reflection of the overall revisionist turn that has been repeatedly taken by the CPB(which has voiced support for 2-states) and the British left in a wider sense.

 

Also putting quotes around "indigenous" to imply there's no settler colonial relation
