The left has a PR problem. No one wants us to be right, and having political views to the left of Hitler is a good way to be alienated by mainstream society. I'm not saying "sigh, we gotta get more racist." or saying "Look, I AM racist, but..." but what I am referring to is stealing right wing arguments and talking points, then using it in our favor. We already (kinda) defused based, and it was a little funny seeing some nazis claim that's cultural appropriation (never mind that Lil' B, a black guy, came up with the term first).
It sounds semi-promising to use demagoguery ourselves, but if this is a no go: I'd rather just learn that right now.
"The right needs to workshop so much, because it needs to be deceptive. The left has it much easier. We can be open"
How has this actually played out in reality?
Better than the post-90s period, where all the unions became ‘associations’, and everyone became afraid to even so much as mention class.
