The level of class consciousness in this country might actually be lower than that of pre October revolution Russia. Bolshevism didn’t arise out of thin air. It took advantage of the working class coalitions and unions already in pace. Lenin himself was influenced by Germany’s SPD. Meanwhile, in this country, a succdem even getting elected to a city office is grounds for excommunication. I’m not saying we should rely on succdems at all but the rhetoric on this site regarding this guy is Ultra shit
Let’s chill out for a sec.
If a racist says something that is detrimental to poc and someone is like "Yeah this is a good point actually" I'm going to come down on them for having absolutely no consciousness of racial issues. If a classist says something that is detrimental to the working class and someone is like "Yeah this is a good point actually" they deserve to be scolded for it just the same as someone deserves to be scolded for it on racial issues.
This shit is the classism equivalent of MLK's white moderate. Calling for exactly the same thing, "calm down", "wait a little longer", "do it for strategic reasons", "in the future it will be better". No. These calls for moderacy are totally bullshit. They're the exact same bullshit that people do in racial issues but transferred to class issues instead.
America had a long history of racial struggle before MLK made that statement. Who has been the biggest vanguard for proletarian revolution in US history? Eugene V Debs? Let’s get real here
