If you’re hungry for power, you don’t turn down opportunities. You take everything and anything that can give you an edge.
If the Dems have power the left should take what they can. If the right has power, we should take power as much as we can. If we can build dual power, we should do as much as we can.
Spend less time whining and more time building power .
We need more optimism and people willing to do something. I at least donate extra cash to a local mutual aid group. I’m trans, I’m lacking in people skills too so I don’t bother doing too much in person organizing type stuff because I don’t want to risk hurting the cause. But I try to help when possible. It ain’t much but it’s honest work
Dems are part of a solution. We still need dual power and community organizations etc. China bad, America bad, Russia bad UK bad, Iran bad. Nobody is out there helping American leftists. Leftism is supposed to be international and the Venezuelas are at least helping out here.
We need to teach kids how to organize. People know about general strikes. I’ve talked to leftists who don’t know the first thing about organizing. It should be our expertise like it was in the 40’s - 60’s. Like we should have pamphlets, Facebook posts, Instagram, TikTok etc that teaches kids how to organize in their community.
Military wise the US can not be beat. Occupation and military strength is not the same as winning a war, they are related and can help, but you can still lose after your military has been wiped away. Economics are part of that too. The British held India with it’s ability to occupy and it’s military. But both require a stewing economy to back it up. That’s how Ghandi ended up winning.
That won’t ever happen with the money and influence and military we have. There’s also nobody who would beat the US and make things better.
Russians is a laughing stock and probably would lose to Mexico’s drug cartels at their level of power. The Chinese aren’t leftists. They have more fucking billionaires than we do.
All of this is just whining because the US left is weak and needs someone else to beat the fash instead of actually organizing. This is cope because the left is in the shitter and it’s full of people who circle jerk post more than we organize . If we had a left that was 90% in control of the Democrats we wouldn’t be making these memes
