    aoc "sucks" because she's a member of congress in the imperial core of a global empire of capital. her failures were precluded from the start. socdems in congress aren't the vehicle to change, but they can grease the wheels if you have the kind of mass movement we all know we need to build

      Bro who's talking about change or reform? All I want is for them to sabotage shit and cause problems, like what's the point of electing "leftists" if they're not willing to detonate the vest if they get in?

        my point is that my theory of change does not rely on anyone in congress. you can spend your time electing a shit-disturber if you want

        Sweden would be a communist country by now if any of the socdem "theories" were right. Social Democracy is pure opportunism and anyone telling you that we need to have social democracy before socialism is lying to you

        i guess it depends on the conditions of the moment. if you're ever in a position where you're using mass action to force congress's hand, i'd think you'd want the shortest ideological distance between your movement/party and its members. if you're not, then it doesn't matter much
