Good-faith criticism of other leftists and leftist orgs in the States is fine, but let's remember that it wasn't anarchists who killed Huey P Newton or Dr King
Or Malcom X
or
or
or......
Like, yeah, the social democrats DID kill Rosa Luxemburg
BUT WE'RE NOT IN GERMANY
@coriander an actually somewhat salient criticism of the Most Prominent Succdem Here is that Sanders agreed with bombing Yugoslavia when the powers that be coalesced around doing that
though i mean still, practically speaking, whether he suppurrted it or not didn’t really change the outcome. but like. still bad
@aescling "Bernie Would've Won" is an overused meme but also literally true
@coriander @aescling *whispers into a microphone connected to a seven-foot-tall amplifier* you don't have to like or agree with a person or movement to work in solidarity with them on shared concerns
@coriander @aescling the solidarity word gets thrown around a lot but it's a good word and such an important concept
@aescling Yeah like obviously Bernie wasn't perfect and I'm not super down with him watering down the railway workers' demands from 14 days to 7
But also compared to literally any other presidential candidate we've had as long as I can remember he was clearly the best choice by a country fucking mile
