That’s one fine looking organised proletarian movement.

Why doesn’t mine look like that?!

This is the correct response not whatever the fuck you were on about.

And fwiw I grew up poor af with a prepaid meter that regularly ran out bcos my mum couldn’t afford it. Now in my mid 30s I have managed to scrape together a thin layer of insulation between me and the capitalist death machine it doesn’t suddenly make me a different class of person.

Also I am under no illusions that this thin layer isn’t shrinking rapidly, which is why campaigns like this are important.

What kind??

Whatever, look im gonna just hand out the leaflets around my mostly council house neighbourhood and if its a waste of time then whatever. And when other and better opportunities to do things come up i’ll take those too. I’m not the fucking enemy here.

To the billionaire ruling class we are are the same ants on the pavement, 8k 28k or 38k. Our class interests are identical. If there cannot be solidarity between us then we have no chance.

Yeah I guess my first reply was a bit flippant, but I don’t know you, I don’t know anything about you. I’m sure whatever you’re doing is better and more important so keep doing that.

I’m just not sure how instantly decrying this as pointless and middle class is helpful in any way.

The middle class / working class divide is harmful and only serves to divide the working class anyway, we are all proletariat. Why are you buying into that? If I make 28k am I your class enemy?? I don’t think so.

A coordinated payment strike can only help to put pressure on the energy companies and also illustrate the power of collective action to people who might have never experienced that.

I never said this was revolution but instantly brushing it aside seems wildly counterproductive.

Seems needlessly antagonistic, like surely you can see the value in this?

Yes people on prepaid meters are getting screwed regardless but if enough people put pressure on the energy companies via something like this it helps everyone?

Not sure how this is possibly a net negative.

Leftists normally: There is no middle class only proletariat and borgouise

Leftists when asked to consider the possibility of actually doing something: Ok, this is clearly just middle class lanyard wankery

imagine training for years to become a CIA agent and fantasizing about being an epic badass defender of america (or whatever the fuck these psychos think about themselves) and then your job is copy and pasting (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
