Bourgeois class traitor with kids here, I have run as a fuck-the-police Marxist in local elections and garnered thousands of votes and sometimes even won. I have established a leftwing local press (really just a blog but it’s still light years ahead of anything else around here). I’ve managed to bring together a small group of leftwing activists who hate the Democratic Party. I abandoned electoralism when Bernie lost the last primary.

What have we achieved? Nothing. It’s fucking hard. You’re right that bourgeois areas are bourgeois. That being said, there’s always hope. I work hard to radicalize everyone I speak to. My lib family members have been saying shockingly radical things lately. I had a good talk with a dad I met at the grocery store yesterday, where I’ve been wearing a mask that says UNIONIZE. The workers there definitely notice. I’m not sure I can do more without putting their jobs at risk.

It’s true that I hesitate (sometimes) to do cool shit because I can’t get arrested. Not a single person I know of around where I live has done anything in the cool zone, however.
