Thank you for this, I never knew much of this. I might attend my local Friends meeting some time. If nothing else I can just be a really bad Quaker in that I'm not so strict on the pacifist part.

my understanding of Quakers is that they tend to be pretty liberal politically and are pretty opposed to any sort of violence/revolution. there's also a lot of historical examples of big time Quaker capitalists/companies (like Barclay's) and when i reached out to a Quaker subreddit i got pretty tepid responses about their feelings on socialism and especially revolutionary socialism. some did point out though that Marx may have been influenced by John Bellers, a famous Quaker, so there is that

it's a beautifully simple and illustrative comic

I'm a fan of their episode on the 2016 primaries as well as their stuff on Davos and the new economic order stuff

It's very easy to feel hopeless and alone right now, I certainly do. What I can offer you is solidarity and love, and the encouragement that the Marxist movement is growing worldwide getting more and more dedicated comrades every single day. If anything you can hang on to the hope that you will get somewhere better some day and join a group to engage in struggle against capitalism.

There's a lot of fighting we have to do before any sort of collapse is imminent. Stay away from those subreddits. Wherever you go, you will be welcome in the socialist movement if there is one. We need you in this fight comrade, you're not alone.

with the criminalization on the ballot the hotel is some really good news. some people in Austin are just really dedicated to making homeless peoples' lives hell

they're just fucking pigs dude don't even have to come up with an excuse they've got the governor on their side

oohhh shit (also nice username are you in texas?)

I watched the netflix mockumentary "Death to 2020" with my roommate and it sucked shit. Libs are really bad at being funny

y'all could do fusion ballots up in NYC. the point is that it's a gradual process, not running to a third party right away. winning elections is no good if the party whose ballot we ran on will crush any attempt at being socialist once in office

Agreed! also he does support the demcent philosophy as well haha but yes

The first part of this article is a good primer: https://reformandrevolution.org/2021/01/21/winning-the-dirty-break-under-biden-what-next-for-dsa/ basically it's the idea that we should build independence from the Dems while tactically using their ballot line from time to time

I've worked on a ton of campaigns. The Democratic ballot line is useful but we have to be clear that it is a tool. Too many DSA people have this idea in our heads that we can fix the Democratic Party, which we cannot. They will always crush and disarm any progressive or socialist attempt to change the party. The answer is the dirty-break: using the Dem ballot line where it's useful and moving towards the goal of forming a socialist party with mass membership and a real connection to labor. I recommend these articles: https://reformandrevolution.org/2021/01/21/winning-the-dirty-break-under-biden-what-next-for-dsa/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qyCCLfy335UWUzrUSR-c7-Awkl97dKNN/view

yah he's my buddy and very based i'm excited as hell cause he'll probably win dirty-break = moving towards establishing an independent socialist workers' party and limiting use of the D ballot line to strategically wise races

fish are the most proletarian food

i explain it by saying i'm mostly plant based but am willing to eat fish cause i could handle catching and killing one, but i couldnt kill a chicken or a cow or a pig. i should only be able to eat what i'm willing to kill i think

it's especially holy i think

they ate grains too though i think
