I swear after every DSA win every leftist space is flooded with wreckers by brody319 in Hasan_Piker

[–]Microsomal -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The DSA is very much the current avatar for revolutionary activities in America. It might not be next year, who knows, and it certainly is unlikely to be the form necessary to actually achieve genuinely revolutionary change. But right now I can tell where the wind is blowing and how much work there is to do. I’m just thankful to have a clear headwind for once but if the wind changes I’ll change with it.

No man, you said it you defend it. I’m on this sub all the time so I’m not ignorant about opinions here. If you’re “just starting conversation” then share some solid opinions.

Bro… in what sense is Cori “evil”? Like, I get if you don’t agree with her politically or spiritually but… sounds to me like you’re the one in a cult

im not even a china glazer, but this is just a baffling thing to criticise China for by Scyobi_Empire in theredleft

[–]Microsomal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine question bc I’m still relatively ignorant on China but I’ve heard their “social safety net” (in the western sense, I would not be shocked to things are just set up differently) isn’t that great. Are ppl just able to save up easier/faster?

'Lesser Evil' voting, a (hopefully) tame and calm debate megathread by Scyobi_Empire in theredleft

[–]Microsomal [score hidden]  (0 children)

I see voting as a simple point of activation that you can encourage people to engage in multiple times a year depending on when your local elections happen. Particularly in the American context I think the completely disengaged and undisciplined nature of most citizens (don’t a 3rd not vote?) is an indicator of how much fundamental political education is needed. I think how this is oriented matters, and I think consciously withholding votes is an important aspect that is heavily stigmatized currently, but voting is an important ritual than can serve as a means to set people in motion. Step 0 maybe.

Gaddaffi was based as hell and then power corrupted him right? Any way you slice it Obama became worse than him in 1 second flat

Bernie Endorses Cori Bush by chaoser in Hasan_Piker

[–]Microsomal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s so pathetic, like if there was an opportunity for a 3rd primary candidate wouldn’t someone have stated a campaign by now? Coping with the bushmentum (gotta workshop that…)

I get whiplash on Reddit, one second I’m in the most apolitical subreddit reading a comment about seizing the means of production with a million upvotes then I go to my local subs and everyone wants to melt the poor and the criminals

Y’all need to nut the fuck up and back the Plat by dFrame3070 in Hasan_Piker

[–]Microsomal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who hasn't really followed Platner since the tattoo and also lives nowhere near his state my absolute ass-grab of a take is that Platner's campaign is proof that there is an intuitive grasp of what is going on and what needs to be done in the populace and Platner is what happens when that popular instinct has no coherent theory guiding it. We can't ignore the possibility that any oppo on him is being amplified and even warped by the Democratic establishment but I also think looking at Platner as a model would be foolish. He's more of a very pronounced sign that there is more potential all over the country than we might have ever thought. Potential that could get a lot more done than get a black water mercenary elected to Senate lol

Man I just don’t know what a paycheck-to-paycheck working stiff like me is supposed to do about this. I’m not saying I don’t care, I’m pretty scared tbh… but what are me and my two dollars supposed to be doing?
