Is there any realistic way to curb growing ethnonationalism in the u.s?
Disclaimer: I mean Leftist ethnonationalism. Nazism feels like a whole different can of worms to me given its inability to defend itself to the left
I feel like I cant avoid religious ethnonationalism when organizing outside of queer spaces. As the child of a "judeo-christian" evangelical preacher, I feel like many of the leftist spaces i occupy basically emulate zionism for themselves with their liberation ideology. As a mexican American I cant deal with the Aztlan ideology basically being fake aztec zionism but it's the biggest recruiting tool the movement has. I used to go to black churches for communist meetings and had to stop once I started seeing NOI and BHI stuff becoming mainstream discourse.
Everywhere I turn I feel like I see people touting literal nationalist movements as the end all be all of our liberation. These are the only organizers who have enough sway to get anything done. It feels like all praxis is being drowned out by people who want to be better than others.
I feel like a naive child hoping for racial unity when folks are using Israel's crimes (and frankly, israel's ideology) to justify why people of different races shouldn't organize together.
I know some other anarchists must have had similar experiences, especially in the past few years. Tell me how you've been dealing with it/not dealing with it.
