My dream now is to move to China and create propaganda for the sake of furthering communism. America is so systematically fucked that without literally killing every politician in the country we will never recover. Maybe maoist third worldists are right. We in real doomer hours now.

    His top issue is clearly universal healthcare and free education, these are ultimately liberal policies that strengthen capitalism over the long term.

    i know and agree, but that's not my point

    my point is that he wanted to organize people to enact these policies, whereas lula wanted to negotiate with politicians in congress; it's similar to a warren vs bernie thing (though lula is a bit more moderate than warren)

    these are fundamentally different approaches, the former acknowledges the existence of class warfare and acts on it; which can actually create a structural change in the long term as the experience of organizing has a transformative effect on individuals

    this is very well expressed in bernie wanting to double union membership while, during lula's terms, unionization rates actually went down (which is a pretty incredible feat for a former union leader)
