    I believe that Geoff Young is both an idiot and a genuine communist. But hey, I liked settlers so I'm down for this shit. He'd fit in here great.

    Is this the "my party is only 90% fascist" guy?

    The clear influence of the online-left on this dude feels like Mike Gravel all over again

    It would be pretty funny to get Geoff Young to do an AMA on hexbear

    Enjoy the spectacle and remember the sucdems and nazis called themselves "socialists" because of how fucking popular socialism was.

      Geoff isn't a social democrat, he's a crank. He won his primary as a fluke, and there's absolutely no chance he'll win the general. We don't have to worry about him being a traitor because he's never gonna get anywhere near a position of political power. He's just a weird protest candidate being fed increasingly radical propaganda by other weirdos on the internet.

      And that's why I love him.

          So like, I know you're joking but after seeing it happen to wave after wave of modteams on reddit I can't help but think it's viable if the politician is from the right class background to begin with. The problem is I suspect not many of them are.

    On one hand, getting leftist literature on a semi-mainstream platform is a win.

    On the other hand, this is probably the worst piece of leftist literature to put forward. It's like showing your average American a Grover Furr video -- whatever the merits, they're going to think both of you are cranks. You can't change minds on a mass scale that jarringly.
