The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Yeah I'm not reading an article from someone who is defending Cornel West and the fucking People's Party.

This is Shea anyways, comrades like @[email protected] can tell you of the many, many flaws in his analysis

I'm curious, why is the People's Party flawed?

Also the founder has serious sexual assault allegations

Came back to read over the newer posts here and holy shit does hearing that take infuriate me, considering the settlers never seem to like when you start bringing up the span of time between the I Have A Dream speech, and his eventual assassination. That span of time where he started listening to the likes of brothers el-Shabazz and Ture. That span of time that spawned the quote "in many regards, the dream that I'd had has become a nightmare". That span of time where Dr. King started understanding that... Non-violent action, while it got in the papers, would not be enough to unravel the Gordian knot of settlerdom.

Then he caught a bullet for it. But surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre, "MLK Jr. would've hated wokeism". Ohhhhhhhkay.
