I disagree with Haz on a lot of things, but Haz’s statement that revolutionary warfare is more than a mere “class war” within a vacuum and also has national-liberation aspects due to the globalistic nature of imperialism is pretty valid

The Black Panthers never expresse any sympathy towards american patriotism, quite the opposite. They became staunch internationalists and linked the struggle in the third world to their own againt american government.
And about the Trotskyst problem in america they have denounced, I dont think this is good reasons to give them any kind of space anywhere, even a broken clock is right twice a day and based on the texts on his substack, it seems this is the case. Appealing to american nationalism is dangerous because it is an idea founded on the genocide and exploitation that is a product of the american bourgeoisie. Nothing will change that, if Haz is really interested in fighting againt his country bourgeoisie, maybe he shouldnt be upholding their symbols of oppression
I agree, but we have to face the real root issue – namely, that the current US left is deeply corrupt and compromised on all levels, and that there is no significant communist movement in America that isn’t revisionist. (EDIT: maybe PSL? But they also come out of the Workers’ World Party). That the whole thing is deeply sick can be seen in the way it veers between rightism and ultraleftism, and sometimes (in the case of Haz and his Khmer Rouge fanboyism) manages to combine the two. Maybe a real crisis will bring out some kind of synthesis with actual revolutionary potential. As of now, I don’t see it happening.
