Like seriously, why isn't there at least one single leader or famous person who is uncompromisingly anticapitalist, good at organizing, gives rousing speeches and is actually willing to do illegal shit, get arrested, inspire people, actually writes new, relevant and useful theory and generally be an icon?

I keep reading about how we are entering the one of the most turbulent decades in history. Who do we have to represent us other than socdem politicians, podcasters and journalists? We are letting crisis after crisis go to waste. We are just wasting away...

      Just deleted the comment. It ain’t hard. Also look into who upbeared that comment and ask them why they think that term is okay.

        That user has good faith posts and it may be a language issue. It's an antiquated term at best and at worst racist.

          It’s not antiquated at best. It’s just plain racist. Gotta love giving racists the benefit of doubt because “they’ve had good posts.” What the fuck is this?

            Well if they agree to edit the original post and remove the phrase that solves it? Sorry I wasnt trying to dismiss your valid concern
