  • This is a quote from the play The Fever by Wallace Shawn. The play depicts a person who becomes sick while struggling to find a morally consistent way to live when faced with injustice, and harshly criticizes the United States’ record in supporting the murder of communists and socialists. The play ends by saying that only blood spilled on their doorsteps will bring the complacent rich to change their selfish ways (which the NYT didn’t like for being too radical).

    Wallace Shawn is a socialist, Jewish actor and playwright who has:

    • supported whistleblower Chelsea Manning
    • worked as a speaker for Jewish Voice for Peace in October 2023 as an anti-Zionist Jew
    • narrated a political ad in April 2024 denouncing AIPAC influence

    It seems Red Star is the only caucus in the DSA with decent revolutionary socialist politics, at least according to this overview.

    Socialist Majority and Reform&Revolution are both Democrat aligned caucuses. Even worse, they are the two largest caucuses in the DSA.

    This issue reflects the fundamentally treacherous nature of the USA white settler left as discussed by J Sakai in his book Settlers, which is mostly only interested in increasing its own share of the colonial spoils rather than actual international liberation.
