Troll AOC:
where is this text from?
Engels. Part 24, The Principles of Communism
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm
This was written when the SPD was actually made out of socialists and not tony blair
This was written 178 years ago. That's 9 generations of liberals doing 
It DID work for the liberals, capitalism still reigns.
Y'all I'm still trying to get a grasp on understanding controlled opposition. Is AOC the same kind of controlled opposition as like FDR was?
Back in FDR days workers organizations were strong and armed, and so the spectre of communism was really haunting, so the controlled opposition had to actually give consessions to workers while persecuting communism. Nowadays they don't need to deliver on their message because there's no labor organizations strong enough to actually do anything in the near horizon, even the ones not coopted by capitalists puppets.
So the controlled opposition only job is to say things (not too spicy of course), but never deliver.
