    it's our job to agitate the libs and advance them towards class consciousness. ive seen a lot of status quo supporting posts recently about the low potential of the response to the overturning of roe v wade, but i see a lot of potential.

    the potential just needs to be analyzed correctly and exploited correctly, and libs being libs isn't a good enough reason to not see this as an incredible opportunity

      That's true and to be fair I wasn't trying to be wholly cynical about it, although a bit of my bitterness about being involved in recent movements in the UK probably shone through more than I intended.

      I absolutely believe in the ability to agitate and help radicalise individuals, whether that's those in our lives or at demos etc. I just think it's important to remember that the liberal blob, whether that's media, politicians, NGOs or prominent figures aren't going to back you up. We should be agitating, but we shouldn't be relying on anyone but proven comrades.
