Can you even quote on time that I've even talked about black nationalist movements, slavery or Marcus Garvey. You're so full of effed up assumptions!
Also, I am very much opposed to the nation-state in general yet I understand that as long as the capitalist system exists, so will borders. However, by the same logic I do not support the Zionist aspirations to dispose of an entire race of people in order to create a State of Jewish character. Especially the Palestinian people who have absolutely no historical hand in the oppression of the Jews. In fact it is a well known fact that the Jews of the Ottoman Empire were treated far better than the European Jewish population. But by antagonising the Arab world, what the Zionist movement is doing (and a make a strong differentiation between Zionist and Jew) is creating more enemies for the Jewish people as a whole. This is why I support a secular, democratic one state solution between Jews and Palestinians. Why support Zionism and perpetuate hatred against your own people when you could be creating links with other oppressed peoples in order to strengthen and solidify our common struggles. Stop your narrow and short sightedness of explaining things as "Jewish struggle" or "Black Struggle" or "Gender Struggle". Realize that we are all oppressed in common by class struggle.
