Leaders get lost!

Hamas doesn't represent Palestinians, President Sergio Mattarella said Friday. "It must be reiterated, in the Palestinians' interest, that Hams does not represent the Palestinian people," he said while meeting Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in Tashkent. "What Hams did on October 7 slitting the throats of children, raping women, taking children and elderly people hostage, and marking the scenes of violence is an insult to humanity," the president added.

'..Hamas was a legitimate government, democratically elected a year before the violent events of 2007, getting 76 seats out of the 132-seat chamber. But not for Mohammed and many other residents of the strip, who throughout the years staged multiple protests against the Hamas government.   “Democracy was over soon after the elections. First of all, they expelled the officials of their rivals to make sure that another round of elections will never take place again and, secondly, in the process of doing so, they killed dozens of people, many of whom were civilians. They never had the right to act this way”  (Mid East Discourse, 10 June 2020)

Legitimate? It's criminal we the people keep electing the likes of Hamas,  Hitler & Trump, King & Queen Ortega, the fundamentalist Islamic Salvation Front, Turkey's ever power-hungry president Erdoğan, and Rodrigo Kill 'em All Duterte of the Philippines and his replacement the son of dictator Marcos!   Legitimate or not, maniacal or moderate, leaders get lost:  the Socialist revolution requires the conscious understanding and participation of the majority of the working class.
