Comrade, I'm a leftist frustratedly watching other people who call themselves leftists repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot with their purity nonsense. You're the one sabotaging the left. We're never going to get socialism, much less communism, with this stupidity.
Even here, on a website composed predominantly of leftists, you're purity testing everyone and splintering the people. How the hell are you going to accomplish anything if you refuse to acknowledge or work with anyone except for the like 2 dozen people in the entire world who happen to have the exact same beliefs as you?
I want the end of capitalism: no more private property, no more oppressive hierarchies, real democracy, the works. I'm probably to the left of easily 99% of the country. If I'm a lib, comrade, who is this "us" you speak of? If no one to the right of me is pure enough, you're not left with enough people to fill a school auditorium, much less lead a revolution. You're not winning anything with those numbers, you're a rounding error.
Or is it not a coincidence that your "hurt the libs" narrative is exactly the same goal of the far-right authoritarian party?
The libs are right wing weirdos. They’re not the left. They love capitalism so long as it serves them. They love authoritarianism so long as they’re the in group. They’re traitors. They love genocide so long as it’s their side in charge.
Never said they weren't. But they're not literally Christo-fascists. They're either equally bad or slightly better on every material policy, so given the choice I'll begrudgingly stomach the traitors long enough to stonewall the Christo-fascists.
Some of my friends are racial minorities, LGBTQ, and/or women. Unless you've got 80 million organized Leftist voters in your pocket ready to go, a genocidal capitalist is going to win. The least I can do is choose the genocidal capitalists that respect their human rights over the genocidal capitalists that want them to be dead, deported, and/or property.
