I doubt they're actually at home, but it's a good first step.

    That's a statement about the possibility of overthrowing capitalism with the institutions of a democratic Republic, not of other change within a capitalist democratic Republic. It's clearly not suggesting that replacing the 6 anti-choice justices with 6 pro-choice justices they'd still repeal Roe V Wade, or that individuals with a ton of political power aren't allowed to otherwise operate in the system as long as they aren't a direct threat to capital.

      You're missing the big picture, comrade. Roe was decided 50 years ago and here we are watching it torn down. Replacing the "sinister six" with liberals would change nothing over the long term. All this justifiable outrage needs to be directed at overthrowing the bourgeois state and replacing it with a revolutionary working class state. Everything else is wasted effort. The idea that we could replace the bad six with six "we" like is just :vote: with extra steps. The bourgeois state must be "smashed".

        Okay, well, if Libs see a bunch of commies out fighting tooth and nail for their right to control their own bodies that will probably gain us support and legitimacy. Millions of people aren't going to magically wake up one day and decide they want to fight the US army. Gotta do the little things before we can do the big things.
