The luddites chose the wrong target. It was not the machines that were the problem. It was the Capital.

What drives ultranationalism and supremacist ideology if not class?

I agree with you. I find it to be a forest for the trees argument with many sympathetic to the Palastinians cause. They fail so see the driving factors behind the zionist project is class exploitation.

Instead they get drawn into the narratives of the elites on the other side who seek to exploit them through continuation of the project.

Like supporting a Mullah, because you are against the Rabbi, when the true enemy is the elites using religion…

Consider that Settler-colonialism cannot exist without class conflict. Class exploitation is the motivating driver behind genocides, slavery and apartheid.

Its core to the us vs them narrative and used as justification for imperialism.

Russia’s historical actions in Ukraine pretty much ticks most of those boxes. Same with all their neigbours. They are very much an imperialist state like Israel. They just call their religion, Russian nationalism.

Its also a case of polling Germans under the Nazis government vs what their true thoughts are.

The reality is that German support for the Nazis policies rarely went over the 35-40% level. The majority were just forced to go along with it.

Still, just like with the Germans, it will be a hell of a job rabilitating that society.
