A little more control ceded to the fascists, and we'll have a REAL Revolutionary Crisis(tm) which we can use to Right This Country!

    Is bitter mockery a pragmatic approach to winning friends and influencing people to shaping a better politics?

    Or is it just cathartic?

      Cathartic + Outlining what is not practical despite the claims of some (abandoning minorities to right-wing governments for the feel-goods you get from it)

    I hate to break it to you but if his hat is any indication, that dog is 100% in support of a racist and homophobic government. He also hates POC, LGBT, Americans, and especially anyone who is all three at once.

      Yes, hence why the meme is dripping with bitter mockery

      Oh man I wonder if OP was making some kind of point. Like I wonder if the character in the meme doesn’t actually want to fight fascism and liberate LGBT and POC Americans

        No he also posts non-sarcasm backed up by animals in Soviet hats.

      They took pepe first, then they took doge. The internet isn’t theirs. They didn’t create those memes. We can take them back and we should.

The neolibs are too far right. The tankies are doing whatever that is. Where’s the space for the people who want fully-automated-luxury-gay-space-communism, but realize that it’s gonna take a while and there are lots of steps between now and then? Here. This is that space.

Here, people should endeavor to discuss and devise practical, actionable leftist action. Vote lesser evil while you build grassroots coalitions. Unionize your workplace. Participate in SRAs. Build cohesion your local community. Educate the proletariat.

This is a place for practical people to develop practical plans to implement stable, incremental improvement.

If you’re dead-set on drumming up all 18,453 True Leftists® into spontaneous Revolution, go somewhere else. The grown ups are talking.

Rules:

-1. Don’t be a dick. Racism, sexism, other assorted bigotries, you know the drill. At least try to default to mutually respectful discussion. We’re all on the same side here, unless you aren’t, in which case kindly leave.

-2. Don’t be a tankie. Yes I’m sure you have an extensive knowledge of century-old theory. There’s been a century of history since then. Things didn’t shake out as expected, maybe consider the possibility that a different angle of attack might be more effective in light of new data.

-3. Be practical. No one on the left benefits from counterproductive actions. This is a space informed by, not enslaved to, ideology. Promoting actions that are fundamentally untenable in the system in question, because they fulfill a sense of ideological purity, is a bad look. Don’t do that.
