🧵 Synthetic Leftism vs. American Conservatism 1. Synthetic leftism is the false messiah for those rightfully resentful of the way things are. It is the product of cultural programs spearheaded by the CIA, for Ford Foundation, and other similar organizations, with one simple aim

EDIT: i now see the glaring problem with this thread- it assumes proletarians (white ones especially) are mostly reactionary and won't advocate for their own class interests. further, he only addresses two types of americans, the radlib and the white reactionary. this thread is almost entirely unhelpful to people on this site who are in neither category and consistently fight back against libs and reactionaries alike.

also the term "synthetic left" was coined by calep maupin, a patsoc and genuinely revolting person

a better tweet than this would have been "radlibs appropriate the struggles of marginalized people to distract from the struggle of the working class, but the material conditions of the working class are affected by structures like racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. 1/2" "Therefore a mass communist movement must focus on improving the material conditions of the lower classes, but especially to those most oppressed under capitalism"

this was quite the struggle session

Thank you to everyone who shared their input, you guys are the best :soviet-heart: communism will win, love you all

PS read some Mao

    And working class trump supporters will be most susceptible to education on material reality

    Why do I need to interact with people who are already hostile to me as a default? There are working class people who aren’t willing to shoot you for wearing a hoodie, you know.

      No you see, you're only working class if you're a 40 year old white dude working for a plumbers union

      you, specifically, don't have to interact with people who are hostile to you. but someone should. there are white, cishet, male leftists who can and should reach out to working class people who are culturally reactionary.
