🧵 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

    we shouldnt cater to the lumpenproles’ reactionary views, but we also shouldnt ignore and exclude the lumpenproles

    this is not the content of the thread. it calls for approaching reactionary workers by abandoning the 'culture war' issues.

    and this dicotomy they use and you're replicating really shows their ass: "culture war" vs. "class war". Trans rights are not a belief system or opinion, they're material conditions for workers. Reproductive rights are material conditions for workers. Racism is material conditions for workers. Not focusing on these is ignoring the workers' struggle.
