Yeah, he seems to think that % of the economy nationalized = % of the country socialist. Real committed to completely ignoring the concept of imperialism.

Now that Bernie’s officially irrelevant I feel like we need to have a reckoning with a lot of these radlibs.

I think this is the real take to be dunked. Yes, NJR posted cringe, whatever. But this example of imperialist mindset had to be constructed in a lab. Like on the one hand you have a country that was colonized, had a dictatorship like 20 years ago and where the empire orchestrated a fascist coup last year, where a indigenous socialist movement fights for their rights and a better future. And of course, there will always be critics who think progress is not made fast enough.

On the other hand you have a nordic european oil rich country with a century long socdem tradition. Yes, they have a great standart of living, but let’s be real, you would have to try to fuck this up.

Like what does Matt thinks beaing a socialist means? Median standard of living? see above lmao

%of unionmembers? yeah good comparing a country where thats just the default to one where faacists try to murder you for it

Jesus fucking Christ. This is what liberalism does to you. Completely unable to understand things from a broader analysis, just cherry pick stuff out of context and evaluate them tht way. This is like saying “this thief and this subsistence farmer are basically the same because they both donate $10/mo to charity”.

If this guy had a shred of good faith he would : “Hmm, perhaps my persona is unattractive to the working class, the correct thing to do is to avoid forcing myself into a public facing role and work to achieve my political aims in the back room.”

Instead he’s out peacocking like the most privileged brat. Because he’s a speech & drama stage school kid thirsty for approval.

fucking politics showbiz ugly people.

Personally attacking fellow leftists because they don’t dress the way you like will bring the revolution any day now

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
