If you had read Lenin you’d have known that. The social democratic age post-WWII is a fleeting historical moment contingent on a bygone set of circumstances that will never repeat. Stop trying to bring that back.

How can you possibly be a politician when you’re historically so illiterate?

you can call AOC dumb for not starting a vanguard party or whatever, but i think her and her demsoc movement is still very useful to point out contradictions, so people can see “yes, we’ve tried changing things electorally, look how much the system will fight reasonable change” like how bernie’s failure brought a lot of people here

reading lenin to realize that AOC won’t succeed is good, expecting AOC to read lenin is a bit silly

“yes, we’ve tried changing things electorally, look how much the system will fight reasonable change”

How many times do people have to do this song and dance? There’s a point where opening a history book should be enough. Honestly if Americans have to keep on failing to get radicalized then that’s a failure on American leftists.

American leftists have failed, yeah. The farthest left place i can find online is a splinter group from a podcast fandom. But will complaining that a famous politician is a lib help? Idk

Class consiousness isnt something that you can just bring about by telling people about capitalism. They have to observe the system itself and its contradictions and limits. There is nothing more radicalising than seeing marxist theory confirmed in real life. From her tweets, it appears AOC is running up against the limits of what bourgeois democracy can do, and thus this can be a radicalising moment for her if she lets it.

I guess it’s kind of like a trot-style splinter group off of the British Empire

I was less so aiming this at you as with the site at large.

I will say insinuating she should read Lenin is kinda funny though. If she did she wouldn’t be “AOC”, she’d just be Alexandria.

Please go tweet this as a reply to her, you’ll definitely look super smart and not at all like a weird crank combing through reply tweets.

Seriously, like I think Ocasio-Cortez’s entryist project is probably doomed too but I just… pay less attention to her. She seems nice and I don’t think what she pursues makes or breaks the left.

Alright we need to put the AOC down just for a week. I know some of you might go through withdrawal. Some of you folks got a crush. It’s ok, I understand that.

Jfc, you people are obsessed. This is straight up incel shit is what it is. You’re putting her up on a pedestal she never asked for and then getting angry at her for not being perfect. It’s not just you, this phenomenon is very prevalent on this site with her and it’s seriously fucked. Like seriously we need to start recognizing this for what it is and calling it out because it’s unhealthy, extremely cringe, and frankly sexist. It’s a completely innocuous tweet and there is literally zero chance that OP or anyone else would see a problem with it if it came from Bernie or Corbyn, or hell, Ilhan Omar or Rashida Talib, because they may be women but they’re not the specific woman you’ve got your weird psychosexual incel simp obsession over. Tell me I’m fucking wrong. Tell me the name of another politician where you comb through their tweets looking for the tiniest little turn of phrase to get mad at.

Fucking, don’t even pretend that it’s valid to spend this much time and this many posts about some random congresswoman just because you disagree with her views. There’s literally hundreds of other congresspeople who disagree with your views who you’ve never once thought about who are more senior and have a larger role in shaping policy, but they’re not young and attractive. I swear, where the fuck is Freud when you need him, he’d have a field day with you lot.
