so... why didn't the left stop fascism? I hear a lot of talk about killing people, but it's been three months and nothing has happened.
Are we all just yappers?
You can bitch all you want, but the right won, and they won exactly what they wanted. So bitching about it on the left isn't going to make us anymore likely to win, is it?
We have no leftwing party in the United States
I phone banked for Sanders on 2 campaigns.
I don't see Neoliberals or Fascists as winning, just different degrees of losing.
I no longer have the slightest hope of ever "winning" a prosocial government here. We're too oligarch captured.
I talk and comment to maintain my sanity in an insane capitalist hellscape I lack the power to change.
probably because the left is so dysfunctional they cant form a cohesive group that people want to vote for.
perhaps join the liberal fight, and fight against things like oligarchy, which liberals are not for, because it's obviously bad for institutions. The better the institution is at helping the people, the better the people are.
Liberalism is basically the only option you have here, realistically. Anything you can do to change the political tide and get people to care about the importance of good governance, is a good thing.
You could plot a coup and overthrow the government, but we're not delusional, and that's obviously not happening anytime soon so, might as well explore other routes.
You should read about what happened to domestic left parties and people after WWII. Also what the US did to left elements abroad. The state of the left in the US today didn't evolve naturally to its current status quo.
you mean like the communists? And japanese internment camps?
There's definitely bad things in there, don't get me wrong. But my original statement is still true.
