What happens if the US collapses under its own contradictions and there isn't a labor movement that can take on whatever hyperreaction comes from the ashes?
I think they're two different conversations, but given that until communism wins there are going to be senators anyway, I think we should take the Menshevik Bernie over whatever psycho libertarian would come out of Vermont in his stead.

Bernie isn't the labor movement, though.
Not talking about Bernie, I'm talking about those working class Americans we're not supposed to care about.
Oh, yeah. Obviously an American labor movement is important, no doubt. Caring about the global south doesn't exclude that.
I just thought you were talking about Bernie since that's the subject of the controversy in this thread.
