Meeting in the middle has turned a country of union supporters into fascists in less than 50 years.
We've been falling for the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric since Nixon.
Neoliberals are on the same team as the oligarchs.
movement-building โ meeting in the middle
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-5/mswv5_58.htm
Leftists letting Neoliberals have all the power is not working together, it's conceding to an occupying power.
Sorry but means testing and shrugging our shoulders like the Neoliberals have done for 50 years pushes the country further Right.
We're done learning this lesson and now we're doing something different.
This time it's the Neoliberals that can get on board or get the fuck out of the way.
The Americans have a garbage left for a lot of reasons, but a lot of it is self-inflicted.
Their refusal to build consensus and instead doing the holier-than-thou internet-argument thing is obviously not the way to gather tens of millions or hundreds of millions together and take power.
Feeling purer than someone on the internet gives a short-term ego-boost, but it isn't the way to build a political movement among hundreds of millions of people with diverse opinions.
You really just seem ignorant of what has happened.
The NEOLIBERALS who have been in 100% control of the Democratic party, who have had multiple majorities in my lifetime, have passed maybe 1 single law that caused a systemic change that was beneficial to the regular person (Medicaid)
The NEOLIBERALS, despite proving they are impotent or complicit in the oligarchy, are allowed to keep power.
The mistake we keep making is allowing the impotent or complicit to keep gaining power and freezing progress.
This yank coming in to a non-American comm and shouting for attention for American issues smh
Yes I'm fairly ignorant of that country. I've heard they've never had a left-wing party with mass support though.
To build a left-wing party with mass support will require people with diverse opinions on many things to work together and keep focused on the base (i.e. the means of production)
The unionists had huge support in the US until the US made it legal for the government to use propaganda against its own people to fight "communism", which just allowed the rich owned news system to start lying to people and sowing hatred between workers, slowly killing unions and making people afraid to support leftist ideologies because of the Red Scare.
Neither the Republicans or Democrats have offered solutions to the money that controls our political processes either because they are too weak or too complicit.
