Exh pol organizing
I love our country, and I love the youth of our country since they are the future. I stand, and state, that I will vote for the political party my conscience tells me to vote for, including candidates up and down the ticket who I trust to defend our liberty and democracy, and to be faithful to the values of our country. I recommend everyone do the same. So to sum it up, as for me and my house , we will serve our faithe (the lord)
I wouldn’t mind seeing political machines make a comeback, maybe if they were organized more like Podemos as opposed to being organized like the corrupt political machines of yoresteryear and DJT's unofficial political machine
To people who say we Leftists should “should stand up for the weak and vulnerable” , my response is, enjoy your ‘Left’ (though really Liberal 2.0 if you think about it), built on weakness and a collective inability to criticize each other another (see here [archive] for more). I will be over here building my Left, which isn’t full of lame snowflakes frantically carving out safe spaces and whining about criticism. Debate it if you want, otherwise bless your heart. See here , here, here (archive) and here for more
We can’t go back to the middle ages or even back a few decades like right wingers and reactionaries want (due to the system being stacked against them) and we do not want to go in the Liberal 2.0 misdirection so we might as well go way way Left .
Maybe by going that far left we can discover a new political spectrum wing that can please all Left Wingers, Libleft and AuthLeft alike, non extremist right wingers and reactionaries and maybe even Liberal 2.0ers at the same time (possibly a new political spectrum wing that is the closest approximation of what other side political post position would look like
Anarcho Libertarianism is good because it (along with Anarchism as a whole) has a unique focus on community and collaboration that goes deeper than hollow tone deaf ,inclusive Capitalism
Even though I support the progressives in general more than the other parts of the Democrat party, I do side with the 'Reactionary centrists' of the Democrat part over the shitlib neoliberals of the Democrat party (like Heet Jeer, Michael Hobbes, Aaron Huertes and Thomas Zimmer.).
I echo that NY mag article by Jonathan Chalt and this neoliberal reddit thread in their critique of the anti reactionary centrist hysteria by the neolib shitlibs like Hobbes, Zimmer, Huertes and Jeer. Leave 'Reactionary centrists' alone
Why lesser of two evils (Democrats) has drawbacks, like here, here and here. Also see my post here and here, and the case for Dem Exit blog here (and see walkway stories here) At minimum I echo the general sentiment in this post. See here too and here (the screenshot tweet in the latter of which is compelling but...)
100+ Democrats wrongly denounced Socialism, Democrats now wrongly are anti anti Capitalist, Democrats no longer care about passing M4A or Universal Healthcare ,some influential Democrats like James Clyburn ever say free college is 'racist' (everything is racist to these well intentioned but off base peeps, NO you misguided overthinker, free college ain't racist).They no longer want to be anti globalization, they smear people who are pro Palestine as bigots , they wrongly support violating religious rights by banning Muslim women from wearing hijabs/burqas, burkinis etc. Also see here. There are so many similar examples to list too. Democrats are are only RELATIVELY good compared to Republicans or even almost as bad as Republicans
This here (archive) is a good discussion on this concept and the anti lesser of two evil methods viewpoints win out in that thread (and are good points too which I agree with)
Having to vote Democrat each time (due to the ‘lesser of two evils’ thing since there is no viable left wing third parties) is totalitarian (but there are benefits to that see here [archive] for more). Though the Democrats instead should try to become a People's Democracy instead of a totalitarian party. Actually we have a UNIPARTY totalitarianism similar to proto Liberal 2.0 totalitarian regimes in Eastern Europe during the Cold War
This post here, shows that a Third Party can be successful , and that post destroys the ‘Democrats are lesser of two evils’ rhetoric. That post says that voting for the Democrat Party is like voting for the New Republican Party. Of course there is this post about third parties that is a bit more cynical
I don’t think people all are morally wrong for not voting Democrat. I understand why some don’t want to, and I blame the Democrat party for it, not you. I’m simply telling ya'll it’s repeating failed tactics and you should reconsider and follow the example of people who we outnumber who yet have 100x our political power, many of whom don’t even have that much money to bring to the table. they just have votes.
I think much of this third party thing is just the right wing and the media successfully blackpilling left wing votes so we take ourselves out of the game and let the center fight the political battles with the right wing, marching us ever rightward. They want us voting third party or staying home. You even get right wing political operatives who admit to stealth funding Green Party candidates to try to pick off enough votes to squeeze through tough elections. We’re letting ourselves be de-fanged and thinking it a righteousness.
"USA inc isn't concerned about D's/R's - USA inc is concerned about profits generated from exploitation of people and resources. politics has always been a side show - a farce." Jimmy Dore
“They tell us that we live in a great free republic; that our institutions are democratic; that we are a free and self-governing people. This is too much, even for a joke. But it is not a subject for levity; it is an exceedingly serious matter.”
- Eugene Debs, Works of EV Debs
The Democratic Party, which is the oldest pro-capitalist party in the world, is essentially indistinct from the Republicans—indeed, as representatives of different factions of the capitalist ruling class, the two parties merely differ in their optics and counterrevolutionary tactics. Workers must therefore at least toy with the idea of equally and soundly rejectng both parties and to refrain from voting for either.
To be sure, the working class will never free itself from capitalist domination by voting for the latter's political representatives.
Instead, workers around the world must build their own independent party, centered on the correct theoretical perspective, and mobilize against the capitalists in their respective countries as part of an international, revolutionary socialist effort. The Socialist Equality Party in the US, in concert with its sister parties in the International Committee of the Fourth International, is the only serious tendency fulfilling this role today. See here for my thoughts on the DSA
Electoralism is just harm reduction at best and real change won't come through without direct action. Democrats aren't gonna liberate the working class but they aren't going to send death squads to blow my brains out because im non-binary
What do I think of someone who said what I write above and here is just pie in the sky idealism?
The irony here, of course, is that this cynical attitude, which plays into the hands of the ruling class, is mere impressionistic intuition; Marxism, on the other hand, is instead a scientific method that reveals capitalism's inevitable abolition and replacement with socialism, as Friedrich Engels elaborates in Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. As a materialist philosophy, Marxism is neither utopian or idealistic in the sense of a misguided yearning for a better world, nor in the philosophical sense referring to the position that consciousness has primacy over matter.
In response to someone endorsing social-democratic tendencies like the DSA, I explain in some detail just what Marxism is about here:
Keep in mind that Marxism is a dialectical and historical-materialist (scientific) philosophy and method for socialist revolution. It does not simply concern itself with how "good" socioeconomic conditions are in a particular epoch, but instead considers the broader historical context and investigates how said conditions manifested, where they are headed, and what material factors and political tendencies underlie this development. Since the ultimate goal for Marxists is socialist revolution, we reject any counterrevolutionary tendencies like social democracy that stand in the way of this, regardless of any apparent, short-term political gains they may have produced for the working class.
How do I reply to someone saying in reply to my anti lesser of two evils methods in this post "the right are rallying behind fascists"?
The Democratic Party, whose leader regards the Republicans who helped orchestrate a fascist siege against him as his "friends" and "colleagues" and which has actively suppressed a thorough public investigation into the event out of fear that findings regarding the very serious and ongoing threat of a fascist siege of the government would spark revolutionary sentiment among workers, is playing the same essential role in incubating a fascist movement. Indeed, Democrats vastly prefer fascism to socialist revolution, which they fear the most.
Social democracy, too, fosters fascism, a point I delve into in my abovelinked comment:
"I am personally fond of the social democracy we have where im from."
The problem with social democracy and other reformist, opportunist tendencies is that, in the final analysis, they engender fascism. This is reported throughout the [Socialist Equality Party's] historical foundations article I linked, including in its section titled "The Victory of Fascism in Germany":
Under the influence of “Third Period” policy, the Communist Parties were instructed to replace their adaptation to the trade unions, Social-Democratic parties, and bourgeois nationalists with an ultra-left program that included the formation of independent “red” unions and the rejection of the tactic of the united front. The united front tactic was replaced with the designation of Social-Democratic parties as “social fascist.”
The new policy of the Comintern was to have disastrous consequences in Germany, where the rise of fascism posed a mortal challenge to the socialist movement.
Fascism was a movement of the demoralized petty bourgeoisie, devastated by the economic crisis and squeezed between the two main classes, the bourgeoisie and the working class. The defeats of the socialist movement had convinced broad sections of the petty bourgeoisie that the working class was not the solution but the source of its problems.
The German bourgeoisie employed the fascists to destroy the labor organizations and atomize the working class. The victory of Hitler’s Nazi Party in January 1933 was the result of the betrayals of Social Democracy and Stalinism. The Social Democrats placed their confidence in the bourgeois Weimar Republic and tied the working class to the capitalist state.
Additionally, it is discussed in the "A Shift in the World Situation: The Capitalist Counter-Offensive" section:
The old Stalinist and Social-Democratic labor and trade union bureaucracies utilized their positions of influence, with the critical assistance of the Pabloite tendencies, to divert, disorient and suppress mass struggles that threatened bourgeois rule. Situations with immense revolutionary potential were misdirected, defused, betrayed and led to defeat.
The consequences of the political treachery of the Stalinists and Social Democrats found their most terrible expression in Chile, where the “socialist” Allende government, abetted by the Communist Party, did everything it possibly could to prevent the working class from taking power. That Allende himself lost his life as a consequence of his efforts to prevent the overthrow of the bourgeois state does not lessen his responsibility for facilitating the military coup, led by General Augusto Pinochet, of September 11, 1973.
Just like liberation from capitalist domination is impossible via support for its politicians, fascism cannot be defeated with this same tactic. In both cases, the only option is for workers to independently organize and mobilize in defense of their own political interests.
"Congrats on not being black, brown, gay, trans, or a woman."
First, not that it matters, but I am actually nonwhite. Second, virtually all social problems, including those that specifically or disproportionately impact particular groups like the ones you list, are ultimately rooted in capitalism. In other words, your support for the pro-capitalist Democrats only helps to ensure that these problems persist for these groups.
Incidentally, DSA member and vicious anti-Marxist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez employed this very same identity politics zealotry a few months ago. As the WSWS reports in "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounces socialists and praises Biden administration, Democratic Party":
McIntosh asks [Ocasio-Cortez], “Some on the Left have looked at Biden’s record and his difference with the Bernie wing of the party, and they conclude that no progress is going to come out of the Biden administration. What’s your view?”
She replies:
Well, I think it’s a really privileged critique. We’re gonna have to focus on solidarity with one another, developing our senses for good faith critique and bad faith critique. Because bad faith critique can destroy everything that we have built so swiftly. And we know this because it has in the past, and it’s taken us so many decades to get to this point. We do not have the time or the luxury to entertain bad faith actors in our movement.
Such “bad faith actors,” Ocasio-Cortez says, only betray their disdain for the poor and oppressed by criticizing the president. Ocasio-Cortez adds a noxious dose of identity politics to the old Democratic trick of presenting left-wing opponents as aiding the right:
For anyone who brings that up [i.e., opposition to the Biden administration], we really have to ask ourselves, what is the message that you are sending to your Black and brown and undocumented members of your community, to your friends, when you say nothing has changed?... When you say ‘nothing has changed,’ you are calling the people who are now protected from deportation ‘no one.’ And we cannot allow for that in our movement.
The example of protecting immigrants from deportation is an unfortunate selection on Ocasio-Cortez’s part. In the weeks since the interview, Biden has suspended the right to asylum and deported tens of thousands of Central American refugees, denying them as much as a court hearing. Perhaps Ocasio-Cortez considers that the 15,000 children presently detained in immigration jails are “privileged bad faith actors” for opposing their own incarceration.
Ocasio-Cortez saves the most vituperative comments for the genuine socialist opponents of Biden. When asked, “What was your path to joining DSA?” Ocasio-Cortez responds by repeatedly stressing what makes the DSA “distinctive” from other socialist groups: “We felt like there wasn’t this class essentialism, but that this really was a multiracial class struggle that didn’t de-prioritize human rights, frankly, I was really impressed.”
At the end of the interview, she praises a number of DSA members running for office as Democrats by saying, “They are people that you want to be around. And they are not cynical, and they do not engage in ‘more socialist than thou.’ They are just relentlessly positive.”
The reference to “class essentialists deprioritizing human rights” shows Ocasio-Cortez and the DSA are working in line with a definite political tradition: American anti-communism. Nothing socially progressive can emerge from this morass. (like this x6)
The Democrats play the ‘good cop’, while Republicans play the ‘bad cop’
I pity people who think that the Democrats and Republicans represent two opposing sides. The Democrats and Republicans more like the aforementioned classic good cop/bad cop pair - one side is shouting in your face and threatening you, the other side is bringing you tea and saying he or she only wants to help, but look past the superficialities and you will see that both sides are on the same side, working for the same goal.
MAGA people like Donald Trump because they believe that the CRT is literally evil. Democrats want to use CRT as a method to monitor colonized nations and to guide them toward assimilation and to become organized into a colonial army instead of liberation.
They are only upset at each other due to tactics and rhetoric like how such things reflect their ideals. They are again, the good cop/bad cop combo.
Donald Trump is always compared to dictators, but comparing him to dictators is oftentimes something of a racist, orientalist dogwhistle and obviously Democrats are always compared to communists, which too is a racist, orientalist dogwhistle.
MAGA people are not as interested in downplaying or rejecting historic people like Andrew Jackson or *George Washington they are not triggered or put off by their brutality as the Democrats are since they don't have any plans of opening the club up as much as Democrats make believe they want to. Its a war of brands of colonialism.
*George Washington was a white racist, i.e he owned slaves and because of that and above he was only a President for white America bigots
Both parties have always played "Good Cop/Bad Cop", but currently they have found it was easier for them to merely play "Bad Cop/Worse Cop"
At the same time the Democrats have the power to stop the Republicans, and do nothing. The US government is literally just a nation wide usage of once again 'good cop/bad cop'
While it would be base to see the Democrats become non Liberal 2.0 and you would think them becoming the New Republican Party would move them right of Liberalism 2.0, thus becoming non Liberal 2.0 , however…..
Unfortunately seeing how that type of ‘shift’ by the Democrats to become the New Republican party only involves them staying where they are on the political spectrum while Democrats take some non Liberal 2.0 policies right of Liberalism 2.0 and make those particular non Liberal 2.0 policies become Liberal 2.0 by sanitizing them (like making Neoconservatism be used to spread western morality, abusing entrapenaurship to spread wokeness, using the FBI to go after Leftists , moderates and Conservatives instead of how they used to be used etc) .
And so, that type of ‘shift’ won’t move the Democrat to become non Liberal 2.0 to the right of Liberalism 2.0. Thus the Democrats will still be Liberal 2.0 and closer to being negative than positive in my eyes even if they make that pseudo shift to become the New Republican Party
The Democrats becoming the New Republican Party is happening, as the Democrat strategy is to 1) win REPUBLICAN voters, and 2) lose voters who have been loyal Democrats. Chuck Schumer said “For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin”
The Democrats and Republicans have the same benefactors. It's literally, for the billionth time, the good cop bad cop routine. So between the Uniparty (Democrats and Republicans uniting) and the Democrats becoming the new Republican party, we can refer to this concept as the rebirthed Democratic Republican Party
As I mentioned similarly elsewhere, Republicans exist to be so facially evil that the people will settle for trash-tier neoliberal Democrats, and the Democrats exist in order to be ineffectual and only to maintain the status quo and keep warm the seats and then throw elections so the Republicans can swipe in and eat the bad PR for passing the horrible legislation they both truly want passed in the first place
The reason this is able to work is because everyone already understands they're cartoonishly evil while the Democrats have to mask it so they can be the placeholders when the people end up getting fed up with cartoonish evil for a bit and doing nada instead of actively destroying the country while feeling like we are making progress. I
It's a symbiotic relationship that is reliant on the Democrats losing elections. If Democrats kept winning every time ultimately they would be forced to do something good for once
If not voting for Joe Biden is a vote for Donald Trump, then not voting for Donald Trump is a vote for Joe Biden.
If Bernie Sanders tells me to vote for someone accused of abuse who touted his work with segregationists and who said that he would veto Medicare for All, then I'm going to echo Cas Mudde and tell Bernie to fuck off. I would however be a Never Bernie before I would be Never (Joe) Biden
But if Joe Biden would make Bernie Sasnders labor secretary (as mentioned here) I would then be more of a cheerleader for Joe Biden than Bernie Sanders
Um, back to the migration thing, did Joe Biden release kids from cages since 2021? Nope. Read State and Revolution
Since an America socialistic Revolution is very likely not happening within the near future, I tepidly give extremely cautious and unenthused support to some Squad members who are populists (like AOC unironically)
AOC and her Squad populists literally can’t enact our Left wing policies /non Liberal 2.0 policies herself themselves since AOC and her populist Squadron are working in a system stacked against NON Liberal 2.0ers (AOC teeters on Liberal 2.0 and non Liberal 2.0 left).
I realize that Republicans and corporate Democrats are far worse on imperialism than progressives like AOC and the Squad populists. I agree with what AOC said here as that is a fair and reasonable reason on why Democrats protest like they do recently without caring about optics. AOC should be more constituent with that type of thinking though
AOC and the Squad populists are not perfect, but they’re the best types of non Liberal 2.0 politicians to the left of Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema and most practical politicians between both parties that we can use to defeat Liberalism 2.0 now and usher in a socialistic revolution.
AOC wants to reform the Democrats to make them go left of Liberalism 2.0 which is great with the added bonus of the Democrats shedding themselves of Liberalism 2.0 , Capitalism and corporatist fascism
For example while working as a bartender, she auditioned with Justice Democrats (.com) when she heard that a new PAC, started after his failed 2016 Presidential run by disgruntled Bernie Sanders campaign staffers and leaders, who were looking for people to “audition” as candidates to run against incumbents for Congressional seats, with the goal of the take over of Congress by Progressives committed to the JD/BNC platform.
The Justice Democrats’ (JD) purpose is the takeover of the Democratic Party, because in order to save the soul of the Democratic Party the Justice Democrats will board the Democratic Party ship and take it over. (This is the proper definition of “mutiny”)
Cenk Uygur also said that the Justice Democrats will run strong progressives (hopefully non Liberal 2.0 ones only) from now on and they will be the new wing of the Democratic Party. Maybe this can include getting an intellectual fringe to seize key positions of authority and power within the Democrat Party and eventually bring large numbers of people around (similar to what the Koch brothers did with their pro-business libertarianism)
This political ideology was greatly influenced by Subhas Chandra Bose who in the 1930s advocated a aggressive revolution against the British Empire to gain total independence for India.
However, sadly DSA are “woke-cialist,” so they are a bit Liberal 2.0 too (if the DSA wrongfully moves right, I would rather the DSA become Blue Dog or New Democrat or maybe even center right instead of becoming Liberal 2.0) . But the only place I want the DSA to be is Left wing (and thus non Liberal 2.0 which means NON wokecalist)
DSA just keeps woke young people in particular voting Democrat. The DSA are sadly and essentially a recruiting wing of the DNC for young people at this point.
It is not common for so called ‘Socialist’ organizations to be primarily focused on wokeness but unfortunately, the DSA seems that they focus on that more than economics instead of balancing the two properly like I outline in this blog
The DSA seems to function as a way to capture economic Leftist sentiment and redirect it to idpol and therefore the Democrats.
I love and agree with this quote by far leftist Ryan Knight: "I’ll tell you what happened: I woke up. The Democratic party has got so many of you to fall in line that you are lashing out at people who are demanding more from our politicians and demanding actual policies that will heal the deep inequities and injustice in this country."
The worst thing we ever did was give liberal 2.0ers the word "tankie."
One leftists wrongly and falsely got called a tankie for rightfully saying "eat the rich" the other day. I lost brain cells. PEOPLE ARE NOT TANKIES FOR SAYING EAT THE RICH. ONLY BRAINDEAD SOCIAL FASCISTS WOULD SAY OTHERWISE
That is as dumb as lefitsts getting called a "centrist" by liberal 2.0ers/Democrats
I have no idea why liberals 2.0ers/Democrats often confuse left and right wingers
Right-wing to Liberal 2.0ers/Democrats is whenever you criticize Democratic Party, apparently
Many liberal 2.0ers I’ve met hear I’m an anarchist and IMMEDIATELY start picturing this "Joker-esque school shooter wannabe who bombs, burns, and shoots everything and everyone in sight", causing them to tense up and it bothers the fuck outta me because I just wanted to talk about how awesome mutual aid and workers' co-ops are.
You see, if I hate Joe Biden and Donald Trump, to Liberal 2.0ers/Democrats I am a centrist. This ignores my reasons behind why both parties are trash and we need more left leaning policy and such
Didn't you know that saying both parties are trash is a Republican point to Liberal 2.0ers/Democrats? Kappa
So I am thinking we must seriously find an alternative to the lesser of two evils method. The Democrats now support the warmongering, evil, corrupt Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney is the fascist who lied to get us into The Iraq War for oil, and is someone more destructive than even Donald Trump. Yet these stupid Democrats and Liberal 2.0ers now support him?
Liberal 2.0 Democrats are traitors. Democrats are wrongly cheering on war, wrongly praising the Cheney family and supporting wrongly mass surveillance and censorship. And Democrats have the gaul to lie smear and defame real leftists/traditional liberals who are rightfully against war, censorsorship, and spying as 'right wing'. Democrats are right wing. When Democrats ally with the Cheney family, Bushes and other warmongering, imperialist neocons, they are no longer 'liberal' and certainly not progressive (if they ever were)
See here for more, this for more ,this for more. My post here expands on this
We can also use the Anti partyarchy method to go beyond the two party system we are stuck in, if we choose to reject the lesser of two evils method. Anti Partyarchy, is against pursuing libertarian ends through statist means, especially political parties (since Libertarians aren’t likely to win elections).
Libertarianism is not an eternal or timeless thing. If you have an very well functioning government and politics, libertarian principles seem less relevant.
This Anti Lesser of Two evils method is to not support political engagement (i.e political party promotion) which can be a way to transition to a left wing society without having to settle for the lesser of two evil Democrats.
If we choose to oppose electoral voting and political reform we can instead use alternative strategies outside of the political systems in order to achieve a free society.
I feel that such a society could be freed more readily if we employ methods like education, direct action, mutual aide, alternative currencies, self sufficiency, civil disobedience ,entrepreneurship and counter economics.
I also support Deep Organizing, see here, here, here, here, here and here and also here for background and how to do that . Also see this post for tangible steps we can take toward building a better tomorrow. This post is primer on political strategy, which uses the great example of MLK Jr and African Americans during the Civil Rights movement (and a less SJW way to boycott too). Also something like this
I also like this strategy to push the Democratic party leftward via electorialism even despite the lesser of two evils method being lame-o:
"The point isn’t to win the presidency, but rather to introduce progressive policies back into the mainstream political discourse and create an united leftist front heading into the 2024 elections. Much like how Bernie did in 2016 and 2020, despite never winning the nomination he catapulted Medicare for All into the limelight through the Democratic primaries and beyond. Likewise, in the 2022 midterm, though Tim Ryan ultimately lost the Ohio senate seat, his presence on the ballot encouraged voter turnout and managed to pull the whole state leftward, resulting in surprising Dem victories for many Ohio house seats.
Every bit of traction Marianne’s campaign gains can be used to prop up progressive voices for the congressional races (e.g., Nina Turner, Richard Ojeda if he decides to run for Manchin’s seat, and so on). And if she gets the chance to wipe the floor with Biden’s face during debates she might even manage to extract some compromises from the establishment Dems on their agenda.
[See this video by Kyle Kulinski for more arguments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rzxtzMz63Y) "Marianne Williamson Vs Joe Biden 2024? | The Kyle Kulinski Show"
Black markets and counter economics could be one of the methods used to help us threaten the state authority and state capitalist class to usher in a true left wing society. This is because Capitalism is an exploitative system based on privilege backed by the State
As per Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualism to usher in our left wing utopia, we could also build alternate institutions built , piece by piece replacing the statist, capitalist, society. This would be a gradualist approach to dismantling and replacing the state with new forms of social organization.
Think of this as an alternative to non market based democratic socialism by synthesizing convergent movements, that would have began the siege and assault on the state and Liberalism 2.0. This would be a new ethic suited to the alliance of various ideas.
Somewhere in this transition stage, all 6 monopolies would need to be abolished to go along with this Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist transition , as outlined here. These monopolies include the Agribusiness monopoly, the infrastructure monopoly, the utility monopoly, the security monopoly, regulatory protectionism, and the healthcare monopoly
Using the existing market, producer and consumer cooperatives, small enterprises, mutual aid institutions, do-it-yourself collectives, community gardens, credit unions, etc would be initiated. These wouldn’t tend to directly conflict with Capitalist institutions.
The state would also be influenced through pressure groups and lobbying. The main effort would be the creation of alternate institutions. At some point these would become strong enough to challenge the state.
I accept we live and breath ideology, and that as much as we can try to live out elements of a future anarchist society today, that it may also be valuable to take on long-term goals that involve well planned organizing.
So based on my points above my political organizing can be best summed up here
The case for running spoiler candidates (see here)
I am trying to get the Democrats to move left by embracing Breadtube . See here and here (What's Wrong with Capitalism by Contrapoints), here (K Marx part 2 Capitalism's consequences by PhilosphyTube), here (Work (or, the 5 jobs I had before YouTube) Philosophy Tube), here (Human Nature and Socialism by ThoughtSlime), here (Explaining stuff about Socialism that confuses you (WATCH THIS, L I B E R A L) - Socialism 101) , here (SOCIALISM: An In-Depth Explanation)
So yes I want the Democrat party to embrace Breadtube ideology to move them leftward. Breadtube is a popular social media collective
I am trying to get the Democrats to create a Breadtube caucus within the Democrat party and run Breadtube candidates for office. At minimum fund Breadtube and make it have an intergenerational reach within the Democrat party as Fox News and the Daily Wire has an intergenerational reach within the Republican party (which if we can get Breadtubers to have the incendiary potential of cynicism maybe they will grow and become more mainstream)
Breadtube is great at employing memes and theatrical ploys to counter right-wing narratives (like here). They go after the “tankies” who are engaged in secret “red-brown alliance” with right-wing extremists. See here, here, here and here for more
After Democrats embrace Breadtube ideology they also should then embrace Vaushism (Vaush is a Breadtuber). Vaushism incorporates Marxism and Liberalism in a way that even more moderate Democrats can get behind or even support (like see here)
I like using this strategy to put unelectable MAGA candidates on the main election tickets so they can be easier to beat for the Democrats
Some leftists (not me) feel that Republicans in power is actually preferable to Democrats in power even if we discount the Liberalism 2.0 element of the Democrats.
To them, with Democrats in power it softens the blows of big capital while promoting illusions among the working class.
These leftists say that with a Republicans in power, they takes off the gloves, increasing exploitation and thus driving the mass movement towards anti capitalist conclusions. Basically left acceleration. Eventually we may have to do something drastic as this to create a truly Left Wing society .
Like get the root canal now (Republicans) instead of downing pain killers (Democrats) for years or decades. Democrats make us complacent but they are not left wing and we cannot keep settling for trash. We will never have a socialistic ,left wing egalitarian society if we do that, ever . Look at the USSR and the October Revolution for inspiration.
So it is tempting to say “What difference would it truly make if Republicans become potus over anyone else? The policies are all decided by chase bank and the state apparatus anyhow. At least Republicans give us a freak show”.
I am open minded to supporting, in a Joseph of Arithmea type way politicians who are part of Peter Thiel’s New Right (i.e JD Vance, Blake Masters) . My reason would be they are as Anti Liberal 2.0 as I am and they have neat ideas
I would not believe that those type of Republicans who I vote for would be able to pass any of their right wing legislation that goes against my values since most Republicans who are socially like those Republicans are all talk and no action on getting their policies passed.
If I had doubts about this for a second however, I would instead abstain from voting in said election
I was back and forth between Tim Ryan and New Right’s JD Vance in their 2022 Senate battle since August, but started to lean in the direction toward JD when the election was called for him. This article gives some good points on Vance
***DISCLAIMER*** I would only be a Joseph of Arithmea type supporter of Peter Thiel’s New Right if and only if I get the Republican Party to adopt, embrace and implement platform 2 in my takeover of the Republican party (where I move to the Republican party leftward)
This way I can create a sectarianism on the whole right (like between conservatives , right libertarians and Republicans) to by extension split Peter Thiel’s New Right/Post Liberal movement .
This would be done by me to create a large variety of different strains of right wing thought that, can sadly lead to quite harsh disagreements between those that adhere to them.
This would make the right wing as a whole have the same sectarianism that the left (including some left progressives but not including the Liberal 2.0)
This would thus make Peter Thiel’s New Right/Post Liberal movement move leftward and be as left of conservatives as Left Communism is left of Democratic Socialism or being as more libertarian of Republicans as Libertarian Socialism/Anarcho Communism is more libertarian of State Socialism/Marxism Leninism or being as distinct from right libertarianism as Mutualism and Left wing free market Anarchism are distinct of Maoism
Until this happens I don’t support in any way shape or form Peter Thiel’s New Right
The Liberalism 2.0 of the US will stop eventually, but it won’t “level out” so to speak. The pendulum will swing in the opposite direction (to the radical right). When that happens it is gonna look a lot worse than what we have now with Liberal 2.0ers
So I am trying to nudge the Liberal 2.0ers away from all the truly insane positions in order to avoid a mass populist uprising against liberalism 2.0
Can you picture how popular a Left wing or Left leaning movement would be if it just ditched the child mutilation, open borders, and anti-White rhetoric things? A Left wing or left leaning movement that reflects the interests of working families instead of billionaire weirdo tech oligarchs and hedge fund managers?
I apolitically symbolically and morally (as in moral victory) see the ‘US Color Revolution’ from 2020 as badass and a bold way to create something new . It was an effective revolution for the Democrats
https://www.conservapedia.com/2020_Leftwing_insurrection. I like reading Conservapedia because I consider Conservapedia to be alternate history/fan fiction
The Republicans and some progressive or liberal conservative populists were the inclusive political party to at least the late 1960s (non racist, non antisemetic) . Those ideals were what the Republican party was founded on in the 1850s. The Republicans need to get back to being like that
I know that the party switch really happened, since why would political historians and scholars ever lie about something as important as that fact when doing so would hurt the Democrats and prop up the Republicans?
But if this ‘no party switch’ myth by extreme Republicans at Conservapedia about how the party switch never happened was actually true instead of being alternative facts (blatant lies) and Republican propaganda , I would in that warped world, be much less hard on Republicans than I try to be now and I would in that strange world actively support the Freedom Caucus . But as it is in our world, nope.
What really happened between both political parties can be found here. I mean if you look at right wing pundits and "intellectuals," they have made the decision to aim their fire at what they call "wokeness/wokeism," which is their word for any effort to tear down the anti blackness and or white ethnocentrism of our society to allow a more honest and inclusive teaching of history or at describing systems of oppression--including class.
Demonstrating eitzhaimHi's point, Republicans have started decrying "essentialism" (I am generally anti essentialist so that sucks) like they're Judith Butler from the 1990s (even worse), in order to fight against the CRT (which is, in reality, is anti-essentialist which is one good thing I can say about the CRT)
The Republicans of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s were a GREAT political party and I am fine with that incarnation of them. In particular the Rockefeller Republicans and Richard Nixon, who actually had some Progressive traits. https://www.wsj.com/articles/richard-nixon-progressive-president-epa-title-ix-detente-cancer-desegregation-11636671414
I am a supporter of the 90s Nordic SocDem - Public Spirit Constitutional Socialism, New Libertarianism (counter economics with a Libertarian conscious) economics Collaborative e-democracy in the conservative wing of a rebirthed retro 1960s type of Democrat Party .They are a lot better than the Republican Conservatives from the 1970s onward
The Republicans in the 1980s were a fairly good political party. Back then Republicans were seen as go getter yuppies and business people.
On Family Ties for example, Alex, who was a Republican was a small-government, pro-capitalist libertarian at heart was a great person unlike some of the Republicans of today. Alex was hip and cool. This article puts it better than I can http://web.archive.org/web/20191011195307/https://www.cracked.com/article_26594_the-classic-sitcom-that-looks-completely-insane-in-2019.html
The Republicans in the early to mid 1990s were also a good party. Uncle Phil from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air was a great Republican. He rightfully belived in Affirmative action and fair housing for his community and he was moderately conservative on other issues while rightfully having faith in institutions like the courts.
Conservatism isn't only the Republican party. There are a lot of decent conservatives worldwide like in Canada, the UK, Germany that have good ideas, most of whom aren't like Donald Trump and MAGA.
I want the Republican Party to move to the LEFT of the Democrat Party and Labour Party UK .
I am going to force the Republican party to move left of the Democrat party while also pressuring the Democrat party forward and left of the PSL. I am going to deradicalize and reprogram right wingers to be at least as left wing as Contrapoints, Kyle Kulinski, Hasan, Destiny (streamer) or at worst as 'left' as Josh Gottheimer
If they won’t do that I want the Republican Party to be banned and abolished and every one of their Republican stooges be banned from politics for life.
I support this alternate history Fantasy world Republican Party
