Kshama Sawant is a Seattle councilwoman and proud Socialist. She fought for and won the first $15 minimum wage and is a leading figure in pushing for fully taxing Amazon. Her opposition is funded with millions upon millions from corporate donors and Jeff Bezos, who have failed twice to defeat her at the ballot box due to strong organizing by SA and the community. A right-wing recall campaign was built up kickstarted by anger that Kshama let BLM protesters into city hall, which has been turbocharged by capitol.
We must hold the line, they're not just going to come for Kshama, she'll just be the first of many socialists. Only through solidarity can we achieve our goals and destroy capitalism. We must stand together, a United Front, and fight for each other so that they may fight for us in turn.

Yeah, seems like modern Trots have shed a lot of the 20th century baggage they carried around. Probably a bit harder to criticize those socialist projects when they keep fucking winning over and over again.

What kind of wacko leftist would be down on Cuba? A poll of any random American population nowadays (outside of Miami) is pretty much statistically neutral on Cuba.
Vietnam and China is a funny pairing tbh, considering how much the two countries are always on the brink of open hostility. Familiarity breeds contempt and all that. Plus mainland China may have the only people in all of Asia (East, South, Southeast, take your pick) who don't find Vietnamese food impossibly delicious.
(Side note: my phone autocorrected to 'corporations' when I wrote countries up there. I will ssume the airplane position in contrition. :xi-shining: )
