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

    See my friend @ZoomeristLeninist this is a quintessential example of a good materialist analysis based on the real experiences and issues workers face rather then loaded ideology . Sorry if this all seems like a pile on, but it's just because we know your heart's in the right place. And not to be dramatic because - ya know life goes on for most of us westoids- , but just don't be led down the wrong path by these media people who claim to be leftist when they are nothing of the sort.

      I'm just really tired of labor aristocrats pretending they know what people less privileged than they are are like. It doesn't matter what tendency they are, they always treat the poor like sheep in need of a shepherd and not overwhelmed balls of stress teetering on the edge of loosing everything.

      They'll also bend over backwards doing anything to avoid having to talk to black people. They will literally platform white middle class Trump supporters first.
