Art is part of organizing. You wouldn’t want Andy Worhol organizing when he would be a far better propagandists for the movement. And an actual left wing movement needs all types of people. It needs accountants and janitors and cooks not just soldiers and general.
“Pitch in however you can” is the slogan of an organizer. I don’t organize but I don’t a few thousand a year to lefty groups. They need money, they need resources, and they need physical help in equal measures.
They are right though. The Dems know their base is full of apathetic and despair ridden doomers who’s idea of political activism is paying for Starbucks for the car behind them.
We think they are shit for the much the same reason. If they even got off their ass for even the smallest thing, if they even remotely considered being active, leftists wouldn’t have to fight against so hard
The water we use in households for drinking is literally a fraction of the total water 75% is used in farms. 99% of the corn grown is not eaten. 70% is used for feed, and the rest is burned for fuel. Sorghum is grown in Arizona where it eats up water. They literally just farm it to sell it he Saudis so they can have grow beef. All because farmers make pennies on literal tons of food. We will have water rations so the farmers won’t be angry.
No. Modern day fascists are actually revolutionary minded by definition. Social Democrats are not revolutionary minded. Even aestheticly. The social aspects in the states are undeniably as important as the material conditions of people. Marx ignored it and couldn’t figure out why the US never mad a leftward lurch. There’s a social aspect to Marxism that he completely missed which is why Marx is a fun read but is ultimately outdated
Fascists over throw the government. There’s a significant difference between an actual revolution or a coup vs just electoralism.
I can’t make any comment on if a bourgeois class ever supported a left wing revolution but only because I’m not super well read on global politics or much history.
