I’d understand or join with the lefty never-voting-anti-capitalist tankies if they had a plan, or a strategy, or a goal, or a coalition they were building towards. But there is nothing. No movement, no goals, no aims to achieve political power. It’s all virtue signaling. We have people from Syria and Palestine literally begging the lefties to cease their rhetoric because it’s causing more harm than good. But the reality is lefties aren’t interested in solutions. They want to feel good about their online social media activism and watch Hassan Piker stream from a luxury hotel in Cuba while 90% of the country goes without electricity. That is the peak american socialist movement.
claims to understand their ideology (or lack thereof)
Try getting involved with real world leftist groups instead of just the online ones. And not PSL either lol. The goal is building class consciousness and solidarity, and that’s a slow fuckin slog in America, so it doesn’t look exciting or like things aren’t being handled with the appropriate urgency but it needs to be done. We cannot do anything if we aren’t organized, we cannot organize if we are all being exploited every moment of our lives.
Also Green Party candidates won 57% of the local elections they ran in (in 2024 or 2025, not sure which) if you’re more the electoral politics type (which imo is far less potent than the community organizing type, though there’s no reason you can’t do both).
Hasan Piker is a grifter, I’m with you there though.
