The X post in question is indeed authentic; the official @KamalaHarris X account originally published it on April 21, 2017, as part of a longer thread on the topic of immigration and citizenship. The full thread is as follows:
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.
Give people a path to citizenship. The vast majority of folks we’re talking about are living a lawful life and paying taxes.
It’s ludicrous to say we’re going to deport 12 million people. Now how are you going to do that?
We are not a society that is going to stand for tearing families apart. We are not going to buy into this administration’s fear mongering.
Ok so I feel it needs to be stated that Russia is very much a capitalist state these days. It should also be noted that the majority of communists have no love for putin or the Russian invasion of Ukraine. None of us want to see people die. We do however understand the material conditions that led to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine and rightfully criticize the western powers that purposefully pushed for this course of action and continue to prolong the war not to help the Ukrainian people but rather to harm Russia. I just want the war to be over, I don’t give a shit about who owns what land. What will materially change for the Ukrainian working class should they be assimilated into Russia? They would still be proles no? Just subservient to a different ruling class. The people of Ukraine are dying to protect the interest of their bourgeoisie and western bourgeoisie. They are being used. Obviously I am not so naive as to believe the Ukrainian ruling class would just give up their capital to Russia without a fight but we must recognize that this is not our war and it is not in our interest to fight it.
Also you’re right, there likely won’t be communism here unfortunately. I recognize this but I will still do everything I can to protect my comrades. Best of luck building your movement where you are. May we both one day see change
Thanks brother, good luck in your activism.
