If a lib is helping maintain a strike fund using their infrastructure, they're alright. Bernie is part of the system, but at least he's capable of occasionally showing solidarity with workers and not just photographing the homeless and drinking wine while the world burns.
You can only pick one. Maintaining a strike fund doesn't make him good. It just means he did a good thing - in the global north, and not in the global south where the damage of his actions has been concentrated.
He might not drink wine while the world burns, but he's just fine helping the people doing the burning along.
Agreed lmao, I'm 100% on your side on this one. Just want to say that this is actually good and we should be contributing to strike funds more often. If this is how his campaign infrastructure is gonna be utilized over the next 4 years I'm all for it.
Yeah, I don't mean to get aggro at you or anything. I agree with you that this is a good initiative, 100%. It's also a much better use of his campaign funds than most of the other things he'd be using them for.
Isn't there a quote from Deng where he analyzes Mao as 70% good, 30% bad, then Stalin as 60/40, then himself as 50/50?
My point being you have to take the good with the bad. Yeah it sucks that Bernie is a liberal who is part of the imperialist death machine, but even if he's only 10% good to 90% bad the good should be commended and the bad condemned.

Gotta be able to see correct action when it occurs and find a way to replicate it basically.
