According to a report published by Basic Optimism, a Marxist network handed out pastries in Berlin to celebrate October 7. The publication reported that this occurred alongside wider public reactions where campuses across the West cheered Hamas and politicians began dedicating their victories to Gaza.
Basic Optimism noted that author Michel Houellebecq’s Submission was previously dismissed as paranoid fiction before these events unfolded. The outlet asserted that Palestinianism now functions as the banner that allows the radical left and Islamists to march together.
The post stated that while Marxism spent a century failing to turn the youth of the West against their own civilization, the cause of Palestinianism has finally succeeded in doing so. The author added that Basic Optimism was founded specifically to bring common sense back to the West.
