🧵 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

    My god man . Yeah black people can be homophobic, trans people can be racist, and literally none of that disregards the primacy of White Supremacy as social discrimination in the US, along with recently anti trans bigotry.

    "of course race is an issue of great importance. i feel like ive just been arguing in circles with people all day. im not trying to say these other struggles arent important, but that class struggle should be emphasized as it can unite the largest number of proletarians."

    The fact that you keep on having to say "of course race is important but " should give you pause on the kind of political path your being led down by these people.. Yes Black Lives matter got coopted, that's because capitalism coop's social movements, but you've been led to a dangerous position that assumes capitalism is inherently socially liberal . It is not and never has been .

    Stop listening to these people dude.
    Also notice how none of what your talking about is material, your in the qausi realm of a convoluted reactionary position .
