Jackson Hinkle: Greedy Grifter or Genuine Patriot and Ally of the Working Class?
Yesterday, April 11th, the New York Times published a piece on one of America’s most viral, and controversial, political commentators: the 24 years young, self-proclaimed “MAGA Communist” Jackson Hinkle.
The Times starts its article out by attempting to portray Hinkle’s platform as a misinformation cesspool, immediately seeking to discredit him. The article goes on to cast doubt on his authenticity throughout, citing his origins in environmental activism, how a single person who knew Jackson at the time found him to be self-centered, and hints at how Jackson acknowledging that “He was very fortunate” for his platform growing as much as it has throughout the recent Israeli genocide of Gaza may be proof that he could care less about the Palestinian plight (although the article does not refer to the genocide that is currently ongoing in Gaza as a genocide).
Yet who wouldn’t be fortunate to be given a platform like Jackson’s? What matters most is what people do with the platforms they are given, not whether they have a platform or not. The authors of this New York Times article were also fortunate to be given platforms on the New York Times, yet have not used it to condemn the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, and the authors will never have platforms authentic enough that the Ansarallah (Houthi) leadership of Yemen would invite them to speak on behalf of Americans, real American patriots who wish to see a world with a balance of power, a world where America is loved as a nation among nations, not a world where America is hated by most of the Global South for its meddling and imperialism.
Jackson has spent years advocating for multipolarity in the world. One of the biggest Pro-Russia voices on social media since before the Russian-Ukraine war even began, Jackson has been pushing for a balance of power to the globalist world order for a while at this point. Whether you support the Russian government or how the Russian economy is organized, whether you think Russia and Eastern Europe were better off united as the Soviet Republic or not, you cannot deny that Russia has been a force against NATO’s attempts at monopolizing control over the world’s governments for years. Ever since the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the world has been geopolitically unipolar, meaning that the United States has been the only superpower in the world, both militarily, through its control of NATO, and economically, with the US Dollar having overwhelming influence and control over the international economy as the world’s reserve currency. Up until the last few years, this unipolar world order has been the status quo with no viable alternatives, but currently, with NATO domination being combatted all over the globe, whether it be from Russia in Eastern Europe or the Axis of Resistance in the Middle East, and with the US dollar under threat of global dedollarization, the unipolar world order may be coming to a close.
The ruling class of America has put the American economy, and by extension its people, at extreme risk by using the dollar as a weapon to control the global economy, and while it will hurt our economy when the world does dedollarize, we are only prolonging and making the future economic ramifications here in America more severe the longer we allow the dollar to have such a monopoly over the global economy. Jackson Hinkle has been fighting to wake the American people up to this reality for years. It’s no wonder that when the most recent battle between Palestine and the so-called state of Israel began, Jackson carried his longstanding principles over into his support for the Palestinian resistance, and the broader Axis of Resistance consisting of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon and Hezbollah, Syria and Assad, Palestine and the Resistance, and Yemen and Ansarallah (the Houthis).
To those of us who have been supporters of the Palestinian cause for years, we know this war between Palestine and the Zionist project has been ongoing for over 75 years. What has been happening since October 7th is not anything new. Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is not a new story. Gaza has been undergoing what Jewish historian Ilan Pappe has described as an “incremental genocide” since the Israeli blockade began in 2006. What has been happening in Gaza since October 7th is accelerated genocide, it is no longer an incremental genocide. Jackson may not have been the most vocal supporter of Palestinian liberation prior to October 7th, nor can I speak to how well-versed he was on the subject before 10/7, but maybe if the New York Times had done their job objectively and correctly, they would know Jackson has been speaking about the Palestinian cause for years. Of course his focus on the issue heightened over the last 6 months, as it is important that the world pay attention when genocide is happening, especially a genocide funded by our American taxpayer dollars. Jackson’s years of authentic advocacy for multipolarity in international politics allows him to understand the importance of Palestine, the battle against global Zionist ideology and Western imperialism in the Middle East, and why Americans need to be against funding foreign governments and forever wars in the Middle East.
Jackson’s Christian background also plays a role in his defense of the Palestinian resistance, who are the guardians of Christian and Muslim heritage in the Holy Land. The Palestinian resistance, while led by the Islamic political party Hamas, is still a resistance coalition of all Palestinian factions. Every single Palestinian political party is united in this battle against Israel with the exception of the political wing of secular-democratic political party Fateh. But even the military wing of Fateh, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is on the side of the resistance. It has long been known by Palestinians that the Fateh-run Palestinian Authority, which since 1991 has been in charge of the West Bank, really only serves as Israel’s right hand for keeping Palestinians under Israeli control and ensuring Israeli security is not threatened.
Palestinians from all backgrounds, mostly Muslim, but also Secular, Communist, and Christian, have taken up arms against Israel in this most recent battle. In Tucker Carlson’s most recent interview with Palestinian Priest Munther Isaac, Isaac describes how 30 Churches across multiple Palestinian Christian towns and villages that were ethnically cleansed in 1948 no longer exist. Churches that were built and kept by the descendants of the original Church of the Bible for centuries. In 2015, the Church of the Multiplication, where Christians believe Jesus fed the 5000, suffered a devastating arson attack by Israeli extremists. In the past few months of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, multiple churches in Gaza have been bombed and damaged, or in some cases, like the centuries old Church of St. Porphyrius, completely destroyed by Israel. The Palestinian resistance, while not entirely motivated by religion, exists to protect the national heritage of Palestine, which includes Christian, Muslim, and, yes, even the Jewish heritage and history the Zionists are attempting to rewrite. Israel seeks to erase the entire Palestinian national identity and heritage from the land, and by extension the Christian and Muslim heritage of the land. Jackson, being a Christian, understands this, and it is why he has been very vocal about the problem of Christian Zionism that plagues America.
The article also makes the claim that while Jackson “once supported Bernie Sanders,” he “now praises former President Donald J. Trump.” This is also misleading, and it was completely intentional on the New York Times’ part to ignore how Jackson has spent the past months criticizing Donald Trump for being a Zionist. It would not be good for the authors of the New York Times article to highlight Jackson’s ideological consistency, especially in a way that highlights how there are prominent figures like Jackson who actually see that Trump’s main flaw is Zionism, not any of the over-exaggerated allegations against him that can be made against any DC politician. That would cause more people to look into the ideological catastrophe which is Zionism, and the Times does not want that.
Jackson has actually accurately determined that while Trump is not the ideal president because of his Zionism, he has not been complicit in a genocide, as Joe Biden has and must be held accountable for, and that Trump is somewhat more of a force for bringing a much-needed multipolar order to the world, which will make the world and Americans better off in the long run. If Biden were to be elected again, it would almost certainly result in 12 more years of American warmongering throughout the world, especially with the likelihood of 8 years of a neocon presidency like DeSantis or Haley after a second Biden term, who are objectively worse than Trump because of what they represent.
The neocon and neoliberal foreign policy establishment means more endless war, more countless lives lost, and trillions of more dollars wasted. Sorry New York Times, but it is George Bush that is the most evil president of the 21st century, and Trump that has done the least evil as President, in this 21st century. George Bush killed over a million Iraqis and tens of thousands of Americans over the WMD lie, which the Times pushed and apologized for after the war had already started. Obama, with support from the Times, overthrew Gaddafi and turned Libya into a slave state and started a war in Syria, falsely called a “civil war,” creating ISIS, which conveniently only fights Syria, Iran, Russia (in the case of ISIS-K), Palestine, and Lebanon, and never any of America’s allies. ISIS has only apologized for its actions once in history, and that was when it accidentally launched a rocket at Israel. Biden is complicit in genocide in Gaza. Trump moved the American embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem and murdered the Iranian general Soleimani. Both very wrong actions, but nothing compared to what the other 3 presidents of the 21st century have done to the Middle East.
If anything, this New York Times article proves Hinkle’s authenticity is far greater than anything we can ask from American media. Yes, Hinkle called Bashar Al-Assad a hero. The New York Times claimed Bashar Al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people in 2015. 9 years later, this year, in February of 2024, the UN Organization for the Proliferation of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) finally concluded it was ISIS that was guilty for the use of chemical weapons, not Assad.
Jackson Hinkle represents the Revolutionary spirit of the American people. For America to be great, we the people must be revolutionary as well. That means supporting multipolarity in the world through dedollarization and NATO demilitarization. America does not need to spend almost a trillion dollars a year on the military, this holds back our country’s own development and only lines the pockets of the American oil cartels and weapons manufacturers, who along with the Israeli and Christian Zionist lobbies have a stranglehold over our government’s foreign policy. America does not need sexual degeneracy, whether it be the mass expansion of young internet sex work due to Onlyfans, which is in part fueled by the lack of good jobs and in part fueled mass objectification of women in media that has been going on for decades, or whether it be promotion of gender ideology and sexuality in schools and in the general public, when these things should be kept private and for adults. America does not need broken homes and families, inflation that kills the working-class American, drug and border crises caused by CIA meddling in Latin America, or our First Amendment rights taken away whether it’s by anti-BDS laws in 36 states or by Big Tech censorship .
America needs strong men like Jackson Hinkle, it needs strong families, it needs a revival of faith that advocates for the collective salvation of the world against global systems of sin and the building of the kingdom of heaven on Earth, which can only be achieved by the working class people of faith uniting against globalism and the hypercapitalist system that dominates the world. The Abrahamic people of faith, totaling almost 4 billion Muslims and Christians, have a duty to unite to achieve this. We need American people of faith like Jackson who are willing to reach out their hand to the Muslim Axis of Resistance in the Middle East and say, “We see you fighting to defend Muslim and Christian heritage in Palestine, fighting against the same colonial legacy our founding fathers fought against in 1776, and we will fight here in America to bring an end to the empire the ruling class has built to hurt the world and common Americans alike, so that this battle may end sooner, so you can love our country like we do even though our government and ruling class makes it hard to sometimes.”
That’s what MAGA Communism is. That is what it means to be a Patriotic Socialist. That’s what Jackson Hinkle represents. He is no grifter, he is not doing this out of self-interest. Jackson said it himself that he is not perfect, nor are any of us, we all have flaws. Yes, he may have been one of those annoying environmentalists when he was in college, but all that shows is that he has always cared about the world, the only thing that has evolved since then is his theory and plan of action for how we can make the world a better place, and we should not allow a newspaper as corrupt as the New York Times to discredit what Jackson has spent years authentically building for the benefit of all freedom-loving people in the world.
Abrahamic Workers of The World, Unite!
