I’m not pointing my finger at you, I’m trying to understand why you’d be supporting a movement that’s by all signs of it captured?? That’s what I can’t understand.
“Yeah they have some questionable views about genocide but they’re pretty good about unions” is a baffling take to me. What do you hope they can accomplish?
You replied before I finished my edit (for clarity) of my previous response, so I’m copying it here:
I don’t support or subscribe to all of its positions. I agree with its views on workers’ rights, unions, and class issues, and I value their labor coverage. That does not mean I adopt the party’s positions on Israel, Palestine, or every political issue.
My own views should be judged by what I actually say, not assigned to me through association with one publication or news articles that I may post.
I do not identify as a Zionist. Agreement on SWP’s workers’ rights should not be treated as automatic agreement on unrelated foreign-policy issues. I try to stay out of foreign-policy debates. It doesn’t interest me that much. Please move on.
EDIT: But thanks for pointing out where some of the confusion may come from, so I’ve updated the sidebar of the community.

I’m not talking about your views, I’m asking what you hope a captured movement can accomplish?
