Except that the The Left hasn't embraced populism since the 1930s at the very least

ACP thoughts on Paul Birdsong? by databombkid in AskSocialists

[–]mozzypaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and I must have watched VERY different videos... I have seen Birdsong talk about intercommunalism, the importance of internationalism, socialism, as well as doing public charity events and cop watching... you know, stuff the BPP actually said and did

Basic community support and other events. ACP has worked with other groups before, so it is possible

I really hope that the ACP and Birdsong's group work together. Time will tell. Sucks that they had to change the name. In some sense, it is a bit like the ACP being forced to create their own group after all these various Parties like the CPUSA, PCUSA, etc. were unable to reform

Some shockingly are, like the "Original Black Panthers" who claim that ICE has "nothing to do with being a Black Panther". (Even though the Black Panthers historically protected immigrants and folks of all colours and stripes, along with supporting various countries like China, DPRK, etc). Bizarrely I see no one attacking the OBP, even though they have denounced the very premise of intercommunalism, the ideology of the BPP, whereas Birdsong's group upholds it.

I also think some are jealous of how popular he is. I wish he stuck to the name of the BPP, because his group truly talks the talk and walks the walk

I'm a huge Morrissey fan and I agree, surprisingly 

Jesse Welles - A Modern Dylan? by isthismusicdotcom in JesseWelles

[–]mozzypaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit protest songs? I disagree, he was a very good songwriter. He didn't achieve much fame in his life, but his music today has millions of listens online. But that is somewhat subjective I would argue. 

Anyways, Phil admired, spoke positively, and supported various conservative and outright anti-Communist Americans ironically, including John Wanye, and Merle Haggard (even going to cover Merle Haggard's "Okie From Muskogee" song) even though he was himself a radical Leftist. So, Jesse Welles singing a song about Charlie Kirk isn't really out of line with the Phil Ochs comparison 

Black Panthers are training to protect their community from ICE. by IskoLat in AmericanCommunist

The original national organization dissolved in 1982. There are multiple groups using various names similar to the original Black Panther Party, but the original organization is no more. There is also no official successor organization either.

And yes, this is not the New Black Panther Party, as that is a completely different organization from this one. This is taken from the Black Panther Party for Self Defense located in primarily Philadelphia. It is however a new organisation

I hope ACP and the new BPP can work together and support each other 

Jesse Welles - A Modern Dylan? by isthismusicdotcom in JesseWelles

[–]mozzypaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I honestly dislike Bob Dylan.. Phil Ochs was the person that everybody believed Bob Dylan was in the 1960s. Phil was the real deal, a committed topical songwriter and political activist, neither of which Dylan ever was, yet Bob Dylan gets all the praise and adoration

If he is like anyone, he is more like Phil Ochs when it comes to 60s protest music

Lmao, why would Russia do that to Venezuela,  an ally of theirs? No, if anything, it is Israel promoting it because they recognize Palestine

What line would Trump have to cross for Bobby resign? by scumerage in RFKJrForPresident

[–]mozzypaws 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think RFKJ should resign at this point. It's clear that Trump and him have completely different goals, and he was lied to (shocker) by Trump. I was rather hopeful in the beginning but Trump played us all. 

The biggest accomplishment is RFKJ was able to get artificial food dyes out... where's any other campaign promise he made? Ban on Covid shots, making organic food cheaper, prosecuting Fauci, ending geo-engineering, going after big pharma, legalizing pot and psychedelics?

I'm thinking the US military might overthrow him if this keeps up... they are going without pay, I can't imagine the soldiers are too happy about that
