It’s infuriating but it can also be a blessing. People are always curious, especially of things they’re told not to be curious about. If it gets more people reading theory, or at least researching a counter-narrative, it may well backfire in their faces. That’s me being positive about it though.

Yes, I see this in Venezuela as well. Many people say “Juan, you are a conservative we do not need you” and I must correct them that I am a social democrat, which is a democratic socialist.

Still they say “Juan, you are not a leftist”. I do not understand this though, I believe in many leftist policies such as universal healthcare, multi-party elections, and privatizing oil resources to sell to foreign companies. These are all very common beliefs of democratic socialists.

American politics is the stupidest fucking system we have, and we have had a lot of fucking stupid systems

1. No lib has ever read Capital
2. Libs are chuds

American left politics basically is “healthcare pls” and nothing else. The bar has never been lower.
