    “socialist patriotism” and “Bill of Rights socialism” mean the same thing

    No they don't.

    Native tribes are each & among them fighting to acquire ancestral lands & rightful territory, and they have been for generations

    Ok that doesn't answer the question.

    CPUSA’s motto 70 years ago was “Communism is 20th century Americanism”

    70 years ago.

    And no, Joe Sims says explicitly that it’s Biden who has provided some “Era of Good Feeling” or something

    “One of the reasons the strikes are taking place is that workers feel like they can win. It’s created an atmosphere where labor feels that the administration has their back”

    Yeah I think I'd disagree with that, but it's not like it's unambiguously false.

    Was Joe Sims wrong in 2014 or is he wrong now?

    He was wrong in 2014, that's what the word "development" means.

      Yes they do.

      I don't remember you asking a non-rhetorical or earnest question.

      Yes, and it holds true today. Just as Sims says last year and 7 years ago.

      Yes, it's unambiguously false. It is the pandemic & mass backlash against faulty public health & corporate policy since the start of it

      But there is nothing about "development" here, you're just throwing that in there

      Joe Sims was correct in 2014, and the nonsense about Trump has only muddied the waters

        Yes I suspect that you frequently discard anything that contradicts your dumb bullshit.

        Yes, it’s unambiguously false. It is the pandemic & mass backlash against faulty public health & corporate policy since the start of it

        Lol you watch Jimmy Dore and think that people are striking over vaccine mandates.

        But there is nothing about “development” here, you’re just throwing that in there

          So you didn't ask a question

          You don't watch Jimmy Dore and take it on faith that he's someone evil

          Joe Sims is a "patriotic socialism" guy too. That's what "Bill of Rights socialism" is

            You think that union guys switching from Democrat to Republican is a sign of class consciousness. You are an examplar of Jimmy Dore's audience.

              I didn't say it's the most advanced section of class consciousness among workers, I said that there is a class struggle ongoing whether they're a part of a Communist Party or not

              they're not reduced to mindless rabble just because they recognize petty bourgeois Democrats & rad libs as such. I would say it's not a positive tactical or strategic intention of the right, it's thus far more of a failure of progressive & workers' movements to seize on those shifts, which are objective & tied to material deterioration in those areas, not to idealist partisan disputes
