To reopen the struggle session: Mamdani good because when people see the institutions crack down on a demsoc it will be radicalizing.
I need to get offline because it literally frustrates me to see there’s struggle sessions over Mamdani.
People dogmatically hate electoralism but llike 99% of online western leftists have zero investment in violence. So when people say that leftists offer zero vision for the future this is what they mean, there is fucking nothing being proposed except for cynicism and dooming, sitting on your ass to do nothing. It’d be one thing if there were talks about military training or even stochastic terrorism against chuds but it’s all about ‘organizing’ to essentially form the very protests that we end up calling ineffective lib shit. I’m sorry for the rant but I’m losing my fucking mind and any faith in everyone, to the point where I think these spaces are just a psyop meant to push people into passivity
If you live in NYC go and full force and join Zohran's campaign. When you get there, no matter what happens, you will findsome other cool people including the other Hexbearians (even if you don't explicitly know that, everyone is gonna be there). If he libs out or gets ratfucked you and your new friends can figure out what the next move is.
No, ignore this, it isn't for you
Use the recruiting opportunity that the campaign is offering, or just ignore my post, enjoy doing cool very illegal things
Unless you have a literally party line on the topic, you're doing inverse-adventurism. If you have a party line you don't need to hear what I'm saying in my post
Then figure out what the equivalent candidate or cause is and join up, even if it's succdem. Other option is joining PSL (or maybe another similar party idk). if you do that, you can tell me what I should be doing instead.
None the "quotes" are from their comment, if that is what you're suggesting?
??? who and why were you quoting then???
The reader of my post, basically
I used the quotes to format potential counterarguments that I'd expect to run into among our comrades so I can respond to them (though it's really just a strawman for me to knock down)
I hope it's obvious to u/goodguywithacat in particular that my response is supporting their post
ah when i do that i usually put like "preempting arguments" or something like that to make that clear, sorry for my confusion
Nah no need to apologize, glad we cleared it up. I'll call this one "RedSailsFan got a bit thrown off by my formatting" unless the couple dozen people who up voted me were doing it cause they misunderstood too? (You all speak now pls! (They're not gonna read this))
...aaaaand POST!
Hey, I read this!
And yeah, made sense, it was quoting the imaginary person reading. Like me. As I am your long lost imaginary friend Wumbo the Wuthering Weasel.
