Thanks for proving you’re as illiterate about history as you are about politics. Now there’s almost no chance any serious adults accidentally think you have anything intelligent to say.

Everywhere, the post is being removed - with the same generic reason: “No politics.”

People who make and enforce “no politics” rules are the people who need to hear it the most, so I think you’ve been posting in the right places, keep it up!

If we keep people too illiterate to read theory, we’ll never have to deal with a revolution. Checkmate, commie.

Are you really suggesting that those people are being somehow prevented from voting, just because the establishment wants them to stay home?

No, I’m suggesting that those people are (correctly) realizing that the game is rigged and refusing to play. Your narrative that progressives could win if they showed up has been repeatedly proven to be a lie, fewer people believe it each election cycle, you cannot change the status quo by doing what the people who profit from the status quo want you to do. The Democrats are not the opposition to the GOP, they are the compliment to them. They exist to make the Wall St agenda palatable by comparison. Their only purpose is to ensure the gullible retain enough faith in the system to prevent any meaningful revolt.

TIL that cassette tapes are a couple decades older than I’d thought

Are you really suggesting that there isn’t a chilling effect on people who want to improve the status quo when they see the party nakedly manipulating the outcome? With this being exactly four years after the DNC nakedly manipulated the system in ways that had since been exhaustively documented, I’d say it massively suppressed the progressive vote, and Warren staying in far too long and splitting that vote before endorsing Biden sealed the deal.

Three election cycles in a row the party has nakedly and unashamedly manipulated things to ensure a donor-friendly candidate. In 2024 there wasn’t even a primary, despite everyone knowing Biden couldn’t handle another campaign.

At this point anyone who finds the status quo unacceptable and still votes for the Democrats is obviously a graduate of the Charlie Brown School of Field Goal Kicks.

this user’s entire MO is making people not like AOC.

I see operation “point out the things she says” is going splendidly

But like I said…no one bothered to show up and vote…so we got Biden.

That’s not even close to what happened.

The DNC Leadership chose Biden specifically to stop Bernie.

That’s why when Biden was in sixth place going in to Super Tuesday every establishment candidate ahead of him bowed out on the same night and gave him their delegates, pushing him from sixth to first, and Warren stayed in to split the progressive vote and push the “Bernie Bros are sexist creeps” narrative.

The US is not a Democracy, it’s an Oligarchy.

Yeah, we need More female and diverse drone bomber pilots and concentration camp guards!!

The Status Quo vs The Status Quo But Worse is a totally free and fair election, liberal democracy is not just a placeholder for fascism!

Downvoters want to be back at brunch

I really wish that were true…

I think the downvoters mistook you for meaning those would be bad things for him to do.

Avoiding these nonsense parades is doing more, not less. We need reading clubs right now, not parades and direct actions. There is no vanguard party in the US and no movement that is being built into one. That needs to come first, so that next time a revolutionary moment presents itself we’re in a place to do more than criticize how the Libs are mismanaging it.

Pretty sure a “general strike” for one day is known as a “holiday”.

What’s the difference then?

one that seems to always impugn liberals and never mentions conservatives

Conservatives are just another flavor of Liberal. As leftists we oppose all kinds of Liberalism, whether it’s the conservative bootstrappy kind or the Nordic welfare state model, everything that preserves the dominance of capital over people is a net evil on the world.

As to why leftists tend to criticize Democrats more than Republicans in the context of US politics: no one who supports the GOP wants a better world. Lots of people who do want a better world have been fooled into thinking that the Democrats are fighting for that better world and need to be disillusioned so that they will join the actual fight for a better world, instead of wasting their time and effort on supporting the controlled opposition.

I see someone hasn’t done the reading.

Start with an easy one, work your way up to the 19th century theory.
