  • Yet both are enemies of the workers, play into opportunism, the vast majority of their policies are dictated by business donors and maintain the system that most of us can agree is killing the planet and people. Any minor concessions (that have already been repealed by the way, wonder how that works /s) might make things a little bit comfortable, but is essentially nothing in comparison.

    Stop rallying behind the puppets of capitalists, look past the liberal abstraction to see things for what they really are even if media says otherwise.


  • That’s because taking a side in the culture war, tactically or otherwise, accepts it as a legitimate fight rather than what it is - a bourgeoisie distraction meant to atomize/divide the working class.

    The correct course of action is not to participate but to reframe it in materialist sense. Racism/sexism/transphobia are not some spontaneous personal moral failings but historical tools of capitalist social control used to split workers, super-exploit marginalized groups for increased profit, enforce traditional family structures to secure birthrates for future workers to be exploited.

    However, given how mass media constantly reinforces the culture war through the narratives and repetition, how emotionally driven it is by design and how anti-capitalist left that recognizes this fact is but a small minority means you’ll hardly see this kind of analysis in the wild.


  • Holy shit why is every .worlder so aggressive? I don’t know how you derived such a conclusion from my original comment, so let me explain:

    Proletarians, soldiers, peasants and so on overthrew the Tsarists, and in this popular front of sorts proletariat had demands for the liberal provisional government, such as Russia’s withdrawal from WW1, land and labor reforms - things of that nature. The provisional liberal government failed to meet any of that (either via stalling or evading action), either delaying or refusing to implement these reforms and to withdraw from the war, which is partially what led to November revolution.

    Simplified to not make it too long, but that’s the core point - nothing to do with Marxist ideals.



    1. The best way to ‘convert’ someone is for them to literally “figure it out” by themselves and start reading political theory via their own volition to grasp the world better rather than get their worldview from inconsistent, barely coherent liberal media slop.

    2. The comment was a reference to how radicalized socialist workers (who’d make up military core and who had demands like worker councils, socialization of industry) would team up with liberal elements in a popular front type of way, only for this front after winning to immediately betray and sideline the worker’s demands. Historical examples: French revolutions, overthrow of Fascist Italy, February revolution in Russia, etc.
