    Ideas and movements are easy to coopt and twist and lie about and use opportunistically. Ideas and movements are not sufficient. I believe in organized and disciplined parties of the advanced section of the working class, of which America has none and that's why our "squad" never had a snowflakes chance in hell against the trillions of dollars of military funding and corporate donations. They were doomed from the very start, as are every single squishy left unorganized potato in a sack who tries to reform this place

      your comment made me think about how the US security state sent out fake protestors with megaphones during the latter half of the summer of 2020 and would use the plants to corral the mass of unorganized protestors

        the unique difficulty of organizing in America is that everyone here is libertarian brain-poisoned and completely individualist. They want to have the perfect politics and are on an individual quest for political redemption and perfection. We cannot win until we destroy that mindset and people begin to understand we need discipline, and hold collective interests above individual interests.

          "my incoherent mix of deranged opinions is what makes me so special and unique, and the people on TV agree with me so I must be right"

              "listen, I may have never read a book and I'm more than 150 years out of date in my conception of philosophical concepts, but here's this new idea I've come up with that nobody has ever thought of before."

              EDIT: sorry I am feeling really pissed off
