This Pete Buttigieg in a nut shell. Let's hope people like AOC are the future instead of him.
AOC was never anything but a “progressive” liberal, and she completely sold out not long after getting into office. Have we already forgotten that she voted to crush a worker strike and voted against raising minimum wage? She’s a scab and a career politician working for the wealthy donor class.
Until such a time as a socialist revolution seems plausible, I still prefer to see progressive liberals in power over conservatives.
plausible?
u.s. is in near-freefall.
Every day we are settung precident for what we will and will not tolerate. Not pulling the lever on socialist revolution keeps us on track for tyranical feudalism.
We can make it plausible or sleep in the graves corprate is ordering us to dig for ourselves.
Pardon the passions, folks who have already worked out their character sheet and place in the effort.
I am always trying to shift people left. But there just aren't enough of us yet.
thanks for your efforts!
more of us than one might think. and we don't always need all diehard lefties to fight for Wages Hours and Conditions.
It's good to turn up the signal as more people of all stripes become Unsure as instability and chaos build in our systems.
Anyway -- something important to keep in mind is that a hard left turns are fought with gardens and tools and 'barn'(etc) raisings even more than demonstrations or violence.
Labor movement, black panthers, and zapatistas are worth a quick study for grassroots practices.
admittedly, what the oligarchy and police state don't want folks to learn about is Direct Action.
