Palestinian liberation connects escape from genocide to escape from capitalism

Evidence

In Palestine, the violent effort to suppress the most basic attempts to safeguard human rights—including the jailing and torture of peaceful marchers hoping to break the food blockade in Gaza and the attack on the Freedom Flotilla led by Greta Thunberg carrying humanitarian aid—attests to the strength of a growing international movement for Palestinian liberation that is threatening exactly because it connects the dots: to escape genocide, we must also escape capitalism. We can all be free only when the most oppressed are free. — Clara E. Mattei, Escape from Capitalism, 405

Categorization

• XREF: This slogan ‘to escape genocide we must also escape capitalism’ is the logical endpoint of the book’s framing — austerity and blockade as twin class instruments. Directly relevant to the reader’s goal of stress-testing democracy-is-anti-capitalism.
