I was all into electoralism up until the 1-2 punch of Corbyn and Bernie getting screwed (and just straight up losing) within the span of 2 months. From there I thought electoralism still had it's place but was thinking more about how we'll never get to "vote" for socialism, and started leaning towards being an ML. And then recently, I'm just really down on the hope for any sort of internal change within the imperial core. I think change is going to have to be forced upon the global north by the global south. And even though Iive in the US, I just feel more and more disconnected from this place. I find I'm way more interested in what's going on in places like Cuba, China, Good Korea, Peru, Bolivia, India, etc. I find myself not even really caring about US politics except for when it comes to issues of foreign policy.

And in my observation, it feels like a lot of comrades here seem to be following this trajectory.

Of course as I move along this path, I still don't seem to have a really good feel on what I'm supposed to do, you know?

I'll be honest, seeing that meme after Corbyn losing with the caption, "the tankies are right once again," got me interested in hearing what the tankies had to say, lol.
