It's not clear to me from the clip that he was asked any question at all. The question he states at the beginning could plausibly be purely rhetorical.

That said, it would not be surprising if he were to stress the struggle against counterrevolution but had little to say about the development of productive forces. Sison is a Maoist, and Mao and his intellectual descendants are much more voluntarists than they are stagists.

at this particular time

That's the thing about tailism, though. It's always bound to a struggle that is of particular urgency or salience at a given time. You can use the same exact words to repudiate any charge of tailism that isn't being made retrospectively, in a history book.

an organization whose primary driving force is Islam

What Islam? A collection of beliefs? A set of believers?

The defining contention of materialism is that ideas are not the primary driver of history. Hakim's post says, without qualification, that Islam is the driving force of the resistance.

The backflips folks are doing in this thread (including obliterating the very distinction between the ideal and the material, which is revisionism) to reconcile these two blindingly obvious, incompatible things are incredible.

That is a materialist analysis of the situation lol because that is what the Palestinians themselves are saying

Self-report (unadorned by any commentary or context, even) is 'material analysis' now? What?

That might be a credible take if, for instance, Hakim's post so much as mentioned material conditions, or Roderic's post was about the engine of history rather than Hakim's post.

Your assessment is totally disconnected both from the content of Hakim's post and from the content of Day's tweet.

This has to be satire, right?

no matter how different a homophone's intensions, they all sound the same to me

Most parties have at least some meetings, and certainly many events, which are open to the general public. Just attend some, and join the org which is doing the work you most want to be involved in. As for the dangers of cult-like microsects and burnout, maybe why you shouldn't join any, check out this podcast by a bunch of former members of such a party.
