    Like Malcolm X said: The ballot or the bullet

    All electoralism can ever give us is enough breathing room to organize. Rather than criticizing politicians I’d rather criticize an entire rotten system

      TMW when you can do both 🤯

      Why should we not critisise rotten opportunists who stain the word socialism every time they misuse it to mean their “left”-liberalism?

        not really sure why my comment explaining the problem has gotten inundated with upvotes while your comment pointing out the problem has been downvoted into oblivion. you were at -2 when i woke up to check on the bear in my back yard.

        and yeah. we absolutely have to do both hence the Malcolm X quote

          They dared to insult the idols where you simply explained the problem.

          People become real defensive when you shit talk those they admire, and that admiration usually also blinds people to the problem at hand.
