“He looked working class on TV” truly the Trump era has suffused all

I don’t want the gerontocracy either, but have to have a line, and if “unapologetic Jew-hater” isn’t it, then we need better standards. Does this mean you’ll be supporting the transphobe Moulton too?

But I’m in the Bluesky bubble so fuck me for caring

Either he will lose because all the oppo will catch coming from the right, or he will win and the fact that this administration is full of Nazis will no longer matter because it will be both-sidesed, and either way most of the country will be okay with the rise in hate crimes against Jews.

Oh yeah I think he’s going to win the primary, it will just be very bad

And we need opposition to the war to be associated with antisemitism because why exactly?

Too late. Running for senate is too expensive to start now.

Why did labor recruit a capitalist? Because he’s a white guy with masculine aesthetics? Oh wait I know why labor recruited a capitalist

What has he done for you lately

If there were, those poll numbers would be inflated and not predictive of how voters break by Election Day

Good thing he’s squeaky clean so there’s no oppo for the superPACs to blast the airwaves with then

Mikhail, there are no Soviet premiers after Gorbachev

Yeah like I can forgive bad posts because the nature of posting is that everyone has bad posts. Nazi tattoos are different.

This was a wonderful event. Trans rights are human rights, and when trans rights are under attack, we stand up and fight back.

This isn’t going to matter because the antisemites have learned that as long as they say “Israel” or “Mossad” or “Soros” instead of “the Jews,” various sorts of progressives and leftists will defend them no matter what they say after.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

In the case of Russia I mean the switch from worker councils and constituent assembly delegate elections to party rule. But I also mean places like Bavaria and Hungary that had brief council republics as pre-turn.

Ok yeah that makes sense then. People who still cling to that are just doing cope.

The more interesting question is to read the Civil War in France or look at the 1917-1923 revolutions that were organized around workers councils, and engage with that vision of democracy. Before the Leninist turn, this is what communists and many socialists understood democracy to be.

It is pretty clear that the institutions Marxists sometimes call “bourgeois democracy” are more or less the best way to cram a constitution, and yeah I think democratic socialism is largely holding to socialist economic policy while admitting this.

Maybe you’re using Marxism to include the stuff Lenin & co added, but: I have pretty serious disagreements with Marx’s views on democracy, but I don’t think this kind of one party stuff is anywhere near his writings. He is, with a few contingent exceptions, a sincere democrat.

swing and a miss

So, no you don’t

Do you not understand this joke format

Is Graham Platner something other than a shitposter that would give him a higher degree of responsibility here?

My brother in our republic, you are ascribing to me a whole mind palace worth of things you think I have said that I never said. That is functioning on vibes.

I’m sorry that he’s never looked straight into the forward facing camera and said “I am the exact same kind of communist that you are.”

So far all you’ve provided that he’s supposedly an ideologue for capitalism is a repost of someone else condemning something they find antisemitic. If you don’t think it is, ok, but your Case Against Jamelle Bouie is pretty thin.

Have you ever heard the expression “antisemitism is the socialism of fools?”

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
