Despite all our expressions of moral outrage at Israel’s horrors in Gaza, we have yet to build a movement that can stop the genocide, writes Waleed Shahid. Building such a movement should be our top priority.

    This header is what I’ve been feeling for a while:

    We Aren’t Strong Enough Yet

    There aren’t enough weirdo leftists to make a real difference. I don’t think there ever will be in America.

    Which is why I disagree with this:

    There are no shortcuts, only the steady, strategic grind of organizing that brings policy shifts within reach. It’s unglamorous, but it’s the only way forward if we want to win the changes we’ve been fighting for.

    Fighting a war of attrition as the smaller force is a recipe for defeat. We need to figure out political guerrilla tactics to get things done if there’s never going to be enough of us. Bernie’s been a political guerrilla for years, and could have made more change if he had more help and leftists weren’t obsessing over some final victory.
