The Big Waco At Home, Global War on Fascism Abroad
White supremacy IS terrorism. It IS international. And there can be only one response.
This is what we’ve been waiting for. With President Biden’s first State of the Union address, the stage is set for the greatest blow against USian reactionary forces since the 1990s, and potentially even since the Civil War. State-sanctioned Good Trouble is at hand, if we want it.
Mass flash-bang raids at 3 AM. Helicopters over your neighborhood. Threeper police chases. ICE unleashed on domestic terrorists. Re-education camps. Mandatory vaccinations. Mass arrests of Assadists, Russophiles and the entirety of the China, Iran, Armenia Lobbies. A complete and total reordering of American society not seen since the world wars.
But there’s a catch. And it is one we must hammer away on if The Big Waco is to be a path to total liberation, and not a path for Year Zero to further advance the Axis agenda.
White supremacy is the organizing principle of the Axis - Russia, China, Iran, and other minor powers that serve as rally points or which offer diplomatic cover. Yet Biden, and particularly the Year Zero forces that have led a successful Long March through the Democratic Parry, have both defined white supremacy exclusively in USian terms and seek to effectively ally the US with one or several powers within the Axis - powers which provide enough support to white supremacist forces within the United States to give them critical victories.
Iran, “Land of the Aryans,” is beloved by rightists like Tucker Carlson, who, in the summer of 2019, celebrated (along with Axis liberals) the fact that Iran’s regime and its “sophisticated” [read- Aryan] “country with an ancient culture and a cohesive population,” unlike “the the chintzy prefab capitals of the” [read - Semitic] “Arab world like Riyadh or Dubai,” would be spared from any harm.
Iran also directly intervened in the 1980 election, leading to Reagan’s victory. You know, the president Democrats like to complain about letting the HIV epidemic run rampant and who supposedly to active measures to degrade and destroy Black communities. Yet Democrats insist on giving the regime that’s responsible for some of their favorite collective traumas everything it wants and more, even as and it is a real-life Gilead, with cranes hanging LGBTQ+ people and all.
Russia openly backs white supremacist networks and was key to Trump’s victory in 2016 (setting aside the great irony that Trump was far more harmful to their interests than most appreciate, which will have to be a topic for another discussion), yet Russia has disappeared as an issue since Orange Man Bad was defeated. Aside from some minor sanctions, there has been no great upswell of Democrat rage against the half million Black and Brown-weighted dead it’s given them so far, much less the supposed injustices they suffered under Trump due to Russian intervention.
Indeed, Democrats are eager to hold secret meetings with Russia that have no transcript now that Orange Man Bad is in his Florida exile. They seem to have set their sights on Turkey, the only country to willingly oppose Russia, as their “example” to show that America’s Back.
As to China, it now hosts the Daily Stormer. Yes, that one. Yet, Democrats are likewise eager to cooperate with a genocidal regime bent on the destruction of liberal democracy and which now hosts a key online platform white supremacists they spent four years crying about when they could again tie them to Orange Man Bad, but which are strangely silent about now that the China Party is back in power.
But yes. Year Zero successfully created a hermetically-sealed bubble where none of this enters the discussion. In place of discussion of these external threats and the international support for white supremacy empowering its USian allies we have the struggle session. America is fundamentally white supremacist. America is built on genocide. Americans don’t need Russia to tell them to be racist. The best thing we can do is withdraw from the world.
American’s don’t need Russia to tell them to be racist. Racism existed before Putin took over. And yet, that these a re the lines of attack by year Zero partisans is itself a tell, since that was never even the claim. White supremacists need foreign support to win their greatest political victories. yet the Year Zero PhDs never want to talk about that. And as we’ll see, for good reason.
White supremacy remains an elemental force in American society, but its recent political victories have been entirely enabled by Axis powers - powers that the loudest “opponents” of white supremacy in the United States are bent on elevating.
Unless you expect to maintain that a force that couldn’t even keep NASCAR on its side can win the White House on its own.
The motivations for this Axis empowerment by the pseudowokes are varied, but the end result is the same - the forces of white supremacy they claim to stand resolutely against, and which they argue are powered by the metaphysical evil at the heart of Occupied Turtle Island, will only grow stronger as its foreign patrons are left untouched. And with the external support completely removed from the discussion, the ever-growing strength of the reactionaries will only “prove” their central thesis.
And this is where The Big Waco can go wrong. If it is not paired with a concurrent struggle against the Axis internationally, if it is not used to clear a path toward total war against those powers, then the Big Waco will fail. It will degenerate into a Years of Lead scenario that leaves permanent scars that prove unworkable toward liberation, it may lead to a “forever war” here, with rightists given rear support for continued attacks here action from abroad, or it may fail outright and lead to disaster. You can imagine how bad it could get.
But why go through all of this trouble? To what end? Why would white supremacy’s self-styled greatest enemies seemingly work to empower it?
Because maybe they know, as has history has shown, the only way they can win is if they rule the ashes.
