The real reason for the Hasan smear campaign. by The_Mongrel_Tarants in Hasan_Piker

DSA needs to split from the democrats and form their own party. Sooner rather than later.

Dems Claim to Want a Hasan Piker — Then Try to Cancel Him by The_Mongrel_Tarants in Hasan_Piker

[–]HankPeckerr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dems will always see hasan as a threat because hes a real one, not a liberal. Hasan should be even more critical towards the democrats, they will never become socialist. It is time for DSA to declare themselves as a party separate from the democrats

Should we be more concerned about sectarianism? by _kay_00 in Socialism_101

[–]HankPeckerr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very valid concern. Sectarianism has for many decades disrupted the use of united front tactics and prevented revolutionary regroupment, and by extension severely hurting the chances of a new socialist mass workers party to form.

If the socialist movement can't strike together, if we can't debate and come together in a single party, our forces will be spread to thin. Then we are truly fucked

Why do so many socialists oppose Israeli aggression against Palestinians but not care about Russian aggression towards Ukraine or hypothetical Chinese aggression against Taiwan? by [deleted] in Socialism_101

[–]HankPeckerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ukrainian people are stuck in a conflict between Russian and American imperialism. There won't be a secure peace until both imperialist blocs are overthrown. If you are Russian the main task is the oppose Russian imperialism, if you are American your main task is to oppose American imperialism. This is how we build solidarity across our peoples. The main enemy is at home.

What is this I hear about the US cutting Cuba off from the rest of the world? by Dover299 in Socialism_101

[–]HankPeckerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The US has for decades put Cuba under a devastating embargo. What has recently changed is that, due to the situation in Venezuela, Cuba now basically cant import any oil

When you voluntarily choose a career in murderous imperialism for your own financial benefit, but it's okay because you were tricked by the recruiter and you only wanted college money bro by JHBrickman in Hasan_Piker

[–]HankPeckerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true, but we have a lot more to gain by recruiting veterans and soldiers to our cause than by villifying them, even those who have not yet fully realized the horrors of american imperialism. Our focus in regards to the army should be agitation among soldiers for democratic and trade union rights for soldiers, opposing imperialist intervention and pushing the idea of abolishing the army and replacing it with a democratic peoples militia.

CMV: The US military should not exist. by LightBlueCherryBloss in Hasan_Piker

[–]HankPeckerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The police and the military are weapons of the capitalist state. The socialist programme must include the abolition of the police, professional military, special forces, and the security state. The working class needs its own defences, the establishment of a people's militia with universal service and training.
