Captain AnCap continues to be a clown.

No problem!

It's a fantastic radicalization piece. We are in a time of uncertainty, but that also opens up new opportunity. Like Mao said, "everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent."

Have you watched the full speech? It hits hard the whole way through.

Yes. Not only are there several proper Marxist orgs like The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Freedom Road Socialist Organization gaining in membership every day (especially in the context of the failures of the Democrats), Social Democrat organizations like the DSA have powerful Marxist caucuses like Red Star Caucus.

I know what I propose isn't easy, but I also know it's doable, and there are good people out there working to make it happen.

Trying to run off of personality and not off of proper theory and practice seems to be the key to a fumbling movement with splitting.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! This is a difficult time for many people, but I firmly believe in revolutionary optimism. We can overcome our struggles, with proper theory and proper practice.

Marxism. The DNC cannot be dragged to the left, because it serves donors alone. The party structure is designed from the ground up to serve the interests of Capital, and prevent left entryism. This is proven by the fact that the Harris campaigned to the right despite polling data showing the popularity of platforms like Medicare for all.

If anyone wants an introductory reading list for Marxism I can offer one, but otherwise Blackshirts and Reds is an excellent start. It shows what fascism is, where and when it arises, who it serves, and how to banish it forever, while also debunking common anti-Communist myths, both from the "left" and the right.

Why do you believe right-wingers think the way they do? Is it genetic, or is it perhaps something else? Why do you see Left-wingers as "free thinkers" yet too individualist to show solidarity?

I think reading on Marxism would be an excellent step forward for you. Left-wingers splinter into factionalism because they don't all want the same thing, or have disagreements on what should be a consistent stance. People's ideas stem from their social relations and material conditions, it isn't genetic.

I keep an introductory reading list I can provide, if you like.

Trump campaigned specifically catering to blue-collar workers with a right-wing populist narrative, the proletariat is squeezed and hopeless right now.

You don't have to be a Marxist to notice it, but his writings and the writings of Marxists that succeed him are critical for putting everything into context.

Correct, your sentiment is a common one. Marxism is regularly vindicated because it remains correct, try as progressives might to avoid its conclusions that revolution is necessary.

Leftists cannot practice Entryism in the Democratic Party, due to its structure. The DNC is a machine used to filter out radicals and protect pro-establishment politicians that secure the funding from donors the DNC needs to exist. It is not a Leftist Party, and cannot be a Leftist Party.

Secondly, the concept of "brainwashing" is flawed. The ideas people find acceptable are determined by their social consciousness, as Capitalism deteriorates and Imperialism begins to crack, workers are increasingly turned towards organization and revolutionary Socialism.

I highly recommend reading Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxemburg, she put to pen why reform is a sisyphean task. Reading theory really needs to be taken more seriously.
