Like... how do Americans start arming the resistance? Through what port? With what shipping company? While the FBI is... what, on lunch break?
The same way they are currently arming Israel; through Palestine.
If one thinks saving palestinians is unrealistic then their genocide should not be used as a poltical cover to win votes.
We aren't talking about random individuals, we are talking about a person who used sympathy against a genocide to win votes in a major (if not one of the most famous) western city and people are rightly getting pissed off at Bernie 3.0 repeated so-called capitulations.
If the whole point is just to spread the wealth exploited from imperialism more equitably and not do anything meanful about said exploitation, then he's no better than the monsters before him.
That's only possible if they can topple the government
Yes and you do that by arming the resistance. One could learn from the folks from every successful campaign against western imperialism and not be beholden to western exceptionalism.
So organise. If this wasn't just political theatre then he should organise, building on the existing campaigns to move in the direction of pressure, and be clear about what needs to be done. He should use his public voice to teach and inform the public, and not resort to tailism.
If this wasn't just political theatre that is.
Careful, you're gonna undermine the larp
