    This guy posts some good agitprop but then falls into anti-“authoritarian communism” anti-theory and individualism. He is concerned with “helping people” not making revolution. He wants people to vote him for governor instead of fighting against imperialism. He thinks that if america gives citizens healthcare and better wages they will magically stop using military force and extortion to keep up it’s neo-colonial empire. Just another demsuc grifter.

        I know because he’s got good agitprop vibes and hes got a following but no theory. “I don’t need to read books about capitalism because I lived it”

          Its almost there, like brother you need to read the books because you lived capitalism, it taught you a false reality.

            and because he has too many followers you can’t explain anything to him because there are 1000 people saying he is exactly right, there is another 1000 throwing insults because he is slightly left, there are 500 trying to explain what he is getting wrong and doing it poorly, and another 50 saying what he is getting wrong in a good way, and then he just engages in strawman arguments against the poorly said criticisms.

        Yeah it’s kind of deflationary. But that he’s so bold in speaking and recognizing the pattern is a beginning. We may not have a revolutionary, in this one. But that doesn’t preclude another.
