In your opinion, what's the leftist line that will most motivate the masses in the US?
Lining up healthcare executives and publicly executiveing them
Probably is, but if the people calling for that also want to respect trans people and not nuke Iran they're immediately going to turn away from them.
Maybe but it's still worth a shot
This "shot" has been taken like 1000 times and it always misses.
Wish I was smart enough to say.
I think part of the issue is that "the masses" in the imperial core are generally more reactionary and less open to socialist ideas due to their position in the global economy. Socialist ideas have only really gained traction here in recent times with highly marginalized groups within the broader worker class. Also we don't really have a constraint industrial proletarian class, our workers are atomized in distributed tertiary economic activities.
