"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Well said. The strategy has never been to go to, say hardcore monarchists, and try to convert them to a socialist ideology by appealing to their reactionary tendencies. It has been to speak to the disenfranchised, who have not been represented in the political system.

The whole maga communism idea is no different than how the democratic party constantly insists the only strategy is leaning further right wing to capture reactionary voters.

Very excellent rant by Ben Norton. Honestly for an off-the-cuff rant about the Maga fascists, he completely nailed it on the head. What I think is probably the funniest and most memorable section of the video is him accurately nailing both the magacoms and bluemaga nato-socialists of being of the same essence of being patsocs but for different wings of American politics. Very funny comparison. Vaush and Haz are the same in essence.

Nice juicy rant to start the day 😁

Danny Haifong would platform anyone with the label of a 'leftist'. Ben on the other hand knows how to spot opportunist movements.

He would know alright. He saw what happened with Max Blumenthal, with his anti-vax thing and his alliance with MAGA.

I think he was treating them too lightly. Needs more outright slamming of the ACP and its leaders

Ngl I really appreciate it, honestly when i first started watching i was warry of him because I was afraid he'd be one of them. Very glad he actually stands on his beliefs
