my thoughts exactly. i try not to cheer for death but, i won’t be crying here either

Too much fantasy is concerned with the notion of “great men” in developing their worlds’ histories. Focus on the lives of ordinary people, or gnomes or wizards, and don’t humanize the Kings and Princes and whatnot too much.

it’s especially holy i think

they ate grains too though i think

i explain it by saying i’m mostly plant based but am willing to eat fish cause i could handle catching and killing one, but i couldnt kill a chicken or a cow or a pig. i should only be able to eat what i’m willing to kill i think

fish are the most proletarian food

yah he’s my buddy and very based i’m excited as hell cause he’ll probably win dirty-break = moving towards establishing an independent socialist workers’ party and limiting use of the D ballot line to strategically wise races

I’ve worked on a ton of campaigns. The Democratic ballot line is useful but we have to be clear that it is a tool. Too many DSA people have this idea in our heads that we can fix the Democratic Party, which we cannot. They will always crush and disarm any progressive or socialist attempt to change the party. The answer is the dirty-break: using the Dem ballot line where it’s useful and moving towards the goal of forming a socialist party with mass membership and a real connection to labor. I recommend these articles: https://reformandrevolution.org/2021/01/21/winning-the-dirty-break-under-biden-what-next-for-dsa/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qyCCLfy335UWUzrUSR-c7-Awkl97dKNN/view

The first part of this article is a good primer: https://reformandrevolution.org/2021/01/21/winning-the-dirty-break-under-biden-what-next-for-dsa/ basically it’s the idea that we should build independence from the Dems while tactically using their ballot line from time to time

Agreed! also he does support the demcent philosophy as well haha but yes

y’all could do fusion ballots up in NYC. the point is that it’s a gradual process, not running to a third party right away. winning elections is no good if the party whose ballot we ran on will crush any attempt at being socialist once in office
