What kind of electoralism is it, proletarian or bourgeois, idealist or materialist? Do they declare solidarity with the occupied third world, or do they sympathize with the naval gazing narcissism of the first world labor aristocracy?

The fact that Bad Faith believes "self driving cars are the future" and "we can go full clean energy without fossil fuels" tells us they're just merely woke liberals who don't know about the effects of resource extraction. How can you be a Marxist with less of an understanding of basic physics than papa Karl? It's impossible to be a materialist if you're as delusional as the Elon Musk death cult redditors

    Claiming a person has "mass wealth" when they don't is a lie. Having some baseline level of respect for your comrades -- like not lying about them and baselessly attacking them -- is essential to any socialist project. Do you want to build solidarity and get something done, or do you want to shit in each other's Cheerios on the internet?

    Also Brie is not some vaguard figure working towards socialism by talking into a mic.

    There is zero possibility of any socialist project getting off the ground unless we convince millions more people to become leftists. What role would you say media plays in politics? Do we need more leftist propaganda out there, or less?

      I shouldn’t have said “mass” but like it’s okay and not something to freak out over. The point I was trying to make stands: she got money . But this is nowhere near towards being some weird targeted maliciously lie like relax// people misspeak all the time

      I don’t even care about this chick that much but I thought I’d share my tea

      And we definitely need media but I still think your overstating the importance of this random podcast. As someone who is an organizer we need a lot more bodies out there trying to help out rather than just speaking about issues

      And shitting on Brie isn’t some mass leftist infighting that’s gonna kill the movement. I thinks she sucks and that’s ok

        she got money

        Next you'll be telling me about Bernie's three houses. This is reactionary nonsense, nothing more.

            Tell me how "she has financial security so don't listen to her" is any different from "Bernie has three houses so don't listen to him."

              Please stop messaging me. Your fixation is becoming weird. You should probably think about how you’re engaging with people on here!

                    The dude you're replying to is probably PMC or petit boug shithead himself. FWIW you're right in many ways. Obsessive focus on electoralism and moralizing is petit boug nonsense. Brie is a petit boug herself. Regardless of how much money she makes, her relation to production is what determines her class and her conciousness. Marx wrote a lot about bourgeois socialism, how certain sections of the bourgeoisie want better conditions for the workers so that capitalism is stabilized and the threat of revolution is minimized. There is nothing revolutionary about Brie, her ideas and her actions.
