Leftists don't have to hate leftists. We could learn to celebrate each other.
Fuck you, pal!
i don't hate leftists, it's the libs who hate me.
All leftists are my comrades!
Except for those damn Trostskyists!
I feel like purity testing has been less of a problem lately, due to the urgency of... pretty much everything.
Increases of purity testing is a symptom of being ineffectual. It is frustrating being a socialist when things fall apart and there are no real plans of action.
What do people do when they feel powerless?
Any action you take in organization is a positive. I ask any of my "no kings" friends to go out and find a protest or day to contribute to a DSA or PSL event (among others but those are the ones nationwide) before the next "no kings" day. If 10% the "no kings day liberals" went out and did something between now and then we'd have a massive increase in support each day. And that is a win for me. Don't try to change the world. Change your neighborhood and find solidarity and purpose in getting others to do the same.
You don't have to feel powerful to not feel powerless. Anyone that feels powerless hasn't been organizing.
History is not made by the actions of "great men". It is made by those that plant seeds for trees that they will never enjoy the shade of. Do what you are capable of doing in your community and your local organizations. Do not be disheartened by the decades in which "nothing happens" because the "weeks in which decades happen" are built upon those times.
I swear. If all the leftist online stopped sitting at home being "informed" of the world politics and just got to the weekend thinking "Damn, i need to listen to , i was so busy organizing with that I didn't have time". We'd all be in a better place. And the political commentator might even start mentioning your community.
I like to go outside and fix stuff, or lay in bed analyzing what ive seen, but I dont need anyone's permission.
Yeah my purity test is whether youre actually helping.
Election? Committee meeting? Sending commissars to foodnotbombs? Unhelpful.
That would make me deeply happy, and significantly increase our ability to accomplish any of the changes we'd like to see in the world
Hey, don't do that. We need to keep pushing the meme of lefist infighting harder and harder so the CIA ops get their paycheck. Are you not considering them? Are they not exploited labor of the capitalist class too? PLEASE RECONSIDER!
Let's take a trip to harbor freight, and express our love for one another.
Non-tendency leftists
tell that to the maoists and the stalinists. lol
I'm sorry, do commies not believing in US department of state propaganda bother you?
--- every single time i forget to add a tag...
No but see theyll work with anyone who doesn't betray them by saying horrible capitalist propaganda like the party line from five minutes ago before they left for the bathroom.
