Honestly besides socdems there isn’t really a notable left faction in america. Proven by the entire left bending the knee to Mamdani.
Anyways there is a very large moralist appeal for imperial core penitence and not materialist analyses. And there is a lot of ego games of borderline moral OC adjacent territory to be the sole leftistest leftist.
Or just venting at white people and expecting not to act white.
For what is to be done…Honestly right now most americans don’t even know how strikes work (like yes you pay people to cover their expenses for example), so political education needs to start at the base and the right stratum of a revolutionary base needs to be analyzed.
I don’t mind venting, I just think the distinction should be made, and venting is becoming increasingly common as a form of “analysis,” at least online. If you go onto the deprogram sub it’s pretty much that.
(like yes you pay people to cover their expenses for example),
Strike funds weren’t always available, and may not be now. What unions are left have been hobbled by laws that say not everyone has to be a member, and non-members don’t have to pay dues, so they reap any benefits for zero effort and zero contributions. What I think is going to happen is things have to deteroriate to the point where people literally can not afford to work and can’t afford not to work, as it was before unionization ever happened here. That means prisons, deaths, and now possibly denationalization.

Aka nothing to lose but your chains.
