But instead energy was wasted scolding, watching breadtubers and coping that the THIS "socialist" (socdem) will tots make the democrats into a vanguard party. We are still not over this. And there is an increasingly large population of alienated and angry americans looking for answers and none is there to galvanize them into a succinct revolutionary movement because the american left are idealists and utopians at best. Hell they were shocked and devastated about contra points turning out to be reactionary or "let people enjoy things" when "purist" rained on their mamdani parade - described by some as the result of "marxism planted in the hearts of americans" are you for real?
Seriously. Take the issue of immigration. If you say that maybe we shouldn't have open borders as a first order of business they will scream "communism is when no borders" but they ignore the fact that there may be issues with opening borders fully given current conditions. And so the discussion stops completely and both sides are left frustrated.
large scale immigration is phenomena born out of capitalistic exploitation. Of course the mentioned take is born due to people demonizing immigrants for immigrating, and not the systems that force emigration.
