  • That was a good play trying to tug on my heartstrings with the PLA except they’re not actually a good model to replicate in the Quest for liberation. Nice try though.

    My point with it is that they were an underdog group with increasingly limited options, and they believed in what they were doing. They did what they needed to to pull ahead, and it was uncomfortable.

    You don’t go to war with the army you want, nor the partners you want. You go with what you have and make due. Make of that metaphor what you need for elections and why minimizing harm is important. If you are not willing to soldier on for that; then you are not helping us win the class war. That makes you not very serious. The alt right has upped the ante several times now and you are still not sure about what you really want to do, or if you can spare an evening to vote and help others outside of your state and county.

    Like I said. I get why you are unhappy about the lesser evil, but you are leaving many of your fellow socialists and lefties out to hang and be defeated in detail. The NYC elections are exiting, but we need more than just islands of progressivism.



  • You keep saying that electoralism is one of the most important fronts for the class war.

    So what about that statement negates the importance of other fronts?

    I think electoralism should be practiced only in so far as we can get something pragmatically out of it.

    100% agree and the only way you will is to engage with it and build out the critical mass of progressives; which we have not done.

    Liberals have no idea where to put in their time and effort when it comes to making changes politically and it shows throughout this entire thread. You know you should at least read the commie books since they have a ton of information on how to properly organize a community and how to utilize their local power including when to use electoralism.

    Says the guy that would rather spend an afternoon buying a jacket to insult fellow allies than to vote to help our causes. Like i said it is just one [important] front in the class war. And again, voting helps minimize the hostility you will get from city hall and state capital; which gives you more room for your local organizing. You might be privileged and unaffected, but your comrades are and you keeps saying you won’t do it for them.

    I get why you feel the DNC is gross; notice I never said the contrary? Still war is uncomfortable comrade, be a trooper and pull your weight in the fight. Sometimes that means you get to elect a progressive. Sometimes it means harm reduction. PLA had a famous retreat not a grand stand. You need to live to fight another day not surrender because the ideal outcome is not happening tomorrow. We are counting on you and you are letting us down with your rhetoric and behavior.


  • I simply Advocate that people shouldn’t waste their time advocating for the Democrats

    And I am not. I am saying we need to vote for progressives where possible, and harm reduction where our options are more limited.

    There are other places where our time is better utilized actually helping our community rather than wasting our breath on a political group that does not care about us and will not save us.

    Do you want to screenshot where I said that this is not important? And you will never have a political group to help you and expand your efforts because you are not building one. And you are making life difficult for your allies by not doing so, what does that say about your support in the fight in the class war?

    Tankies are not serious people.
