      I can't even find anything to suggest they're Trots. They're inspired by Debs, Malcom X, the IWW and believe in forming a vanguard party. I think this is like chuds calling everything they don't like "communism", but for leftists. I've seen people here do it, too. Stupid, political strawman shit.

          Honestly a true vanguard party in :amerikkka: should really be regional and focused on taking over their state so there should be at least 50

          :sicko-crowd:

          Infighting is obviously bad but multiple parties don't have to fight if they all have different territory

          Ideally you should have a federation of regional vanguard parties, individually focused on their own voting district but working together with all the other parties in their state and ultimately building to work with parties across the country to get our party members elected at every level of government

          Yeah electoralism is lib bullshit so yeah I'm a :LIB: but we really could do something like this and win, some small town elections come down to only a few hundred people or less voting and we could take some power back from the ruling class

          If the chuds think the school boards are full of communists now, I say let's show them what that really looks like

          We cannot win at the federal level, we should accept that for now but we can win at the local, then the state level and keep building on that

          School boards, state assembly, sheriffs, mayors and so many more are within our grasp if we only seize the opportunity

          Then again I am stoned off my ass on these edibles I made so maybe this is but a pipe dream

            If each local vanguard also has a citizen's militia I'm 100% on board with this.

            you think this but then you realize state governments have strict regulations on cities to prevent them from doing commie shit like rent controls

              You can do the best allowable at the local level, then run for state office with a real base and a demonstrated track record.

        in the UK, newspapers have called leftists 'Trots' for decades due to Militant
        it may have had a point initially, but eventually it just becomes a catchall -ist slur, like how Tories can't help but call moderate social democrats 'marxists' all the fucking time
