At a cognitive level, the notion that ultra communism is nigh, right now, and that it has been ultra communism since :obama-drone: if not since :billdawg: Jokerfies me to new heights when I think about it too much. :jokerfied:

    you honestly think American's aversion to the Democratic party is because of some vague idea about 'liberals' and 'elites' but they hate actual leftists far more than suited libs and no amount of hand wringing over material conditions is gonig to wrangle culture war away from Americans.

      Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I think your point is that socialists are more disliked than dems.

      My main point is that socialism being a "bad brand" in the US isn't a reason to hitch ourselves to the Dems or to try to do Dem entryism.

      If you don't think there's a way that US culture war ends or you don't think there's a way of circumventing it (whether thru labor, tenant organizing, electorally etc), then you don't think socialist politics are possible in the US.
