The left in the US and Europe is just a very small portion of politically advanced (arguably) workers and petit bourgeoise - even if we were to all agree on a course of action and a concise set of political values, it would not accomplish anything other than to feed our own egos.

If we want the power to implement our preferred program, we need to be organizing our fellow workers, not arguing online. We need to have real answers to their questions, and have a real platform, so that they would join us.

Honestly, everything else is just lifestyleism. Of course many of us know this but we choose not to organize anyway, either because we feel too impotent or we are afraid of sticking our necks out.

    Between all of us, if we took this as serious as a job and gave it as many hours as we could a week, we would be a smallish think tank/political campaign. with no budget to speak of.

    edit. in my opinion, we should focus on building up resources and our own community. there are lots of comrades here that need material help. after that, expand. imo

    edit. i guess even that is basically meaningless
