This was written 178 years ago. That's 9 generations of liberals doing

It DID work for the liberals, capitalism still reigns.

Y'all I'm still trying to get a grasp on understanding controlled opposition. Is AOC the same kind of controlled opposition as like FDR was?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Back in FDR days workers organizations were strong and armed, and so the spectre of communism was really haunting, so the controlled opposition had to actually give consessions to workers while persecuting communism. Nowadays they don't need to deliver on their message because there's no labor organizations strong enough to actually do anything in the near horizon, even the ones not coopted by capitalists puppets.

So the controlled opposition only job is to say things (not too spicy of course), but never deliver.

This was written when the SPD was actually made out of socialists and not tony blair

But they can also be potential allies on fighting against the evils in society, right?

It's not physically impossible, but it would be historically unprecedented, so maybe don't plan on it
