Something Sean from the Antifada said recently has really resonated with me. Communists are the only ones who are truly serious about understanding the magnitude of the issues we face today and really solving those issues. Every liberal postures about being more mature and pragmatic with their approach to politics, but look at how they're handling Biden's absolutely inadequate appointments. Thinking this admin is going to fix things with their approach is just as nutty as QAnon.

Read Marx.

    probably why chapo got into the admin's sights is that we weren't so incredibly off-putting with constant banning of users/newbie leftists. Other subs are so hostile to being successful that they are almost set up to fail.

      Yup. The left poses no threat if it remains small. If everyone here, in the DSA, in the PSL, and in any other remotely leftist group magically became perfectly organized together and totally committed to a given strategy, it doesn't matter what that strategy is; we'd still fail on account of being too small. You need popular support to succeed on any path to socialism, and right now we don't have that.

      A necessary prerequisite for getting anything accomplished is growing the left exponentially, and we can't achieve that by telling everyone who isn't already a One True Leftist that they're basically a fascist.
