“I’m also a Marxist-Leninist.”

These people are the opportunists you’ve been warned about. Stop defending them. They’re less than useless.
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
Who was he referencing as “them”?
AOC, since now imperial core socdems are the same as global south demsocs
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
Getting angry at him is performative and this is a nothing example.
