A cowardly, dishonest take. You can't tell people that ending western wars can simply "stop refugees". Not only will the damage already done (and climate change) continue to force ppl to move for decades, but there will still be other tyrants, imperialists & exploiters to flee.
There is no way out of the reality that the coming decades will see huge numbers forced to move. The left has to win the argument that we can and must offer the safe harbour, security and equality. Anything else is dogshit pandering to racists.
And my Iranian socialist comrades might have something to say about @PeoplesMomentum @future_we_need putting up Dar to talk about this, as a politician who has repeatedly celebrated the brutally oppressive, anti-worker government that forced them to seek safety here in exile.
Oh and @PeoplesMomentum @future_we_need stop calling it a crisis! A handful of people arriving in small boats is not a crisis. Adopting the racist right's hysterical language only serves to reinforce their lies about unmanageable floods of people invading.
Support workers and oppressed people struggling under the Iranian regime by supporting the Shahrokh Zamani Action Campaign - named for a trade unionist and socialist murdered by that state in its prison system. @ShahrokhZAC shahrokhzamani.com
