Yeah, at this point we’re dealing with guys like Musk single-handedly pouring half a billion into elections, I don’t think it’s an affordability problem. And historically, smaller seats tend to be easier to bribe for, not harder. Look at any local government, especially in less populous areas, they’re some of the most corrupt politicians.

More directly, corporate dollars just don’t have any place in our politics, for any size election.

TF you mean “Finally”? We’ve known why the whole damn time!!

He couldn’t even keep it in his pants during the campaign?

Damn, that sucks. Hand over you right to vote.

Democratic leadership, doing everything in their power to lose as usual.

Because if you do the one-time tax, people might start asking for a permanent rise in billionaire taxes. When it succeeds, people might start asking about broader redistribution policies.

They cannot allow one single victory, because any momentum to the left threatens their absolute power, and wherever possible will crush it under their heel.

I don’t think it’s that. His supporters know he’s a pedophile and they like it. He likes Russia because he’s invested in their markets, their oligarchs bribe him and his cadre, and because he and his ilk intend to make America into another Russia. It’s little saint James all the way down.

Why would Israel’s controlled opposition in their colonial-occupational government openly oppose the deportation of his enemy? Of course he is rejoicing with his fellow Epsteinite-unipartymen, raping children and drinking their blood on some new private island.

Chuck is as much an enemy of the people as Trump, but more insidious than outright evil, by presenting himself as an ally to and leader of the left-wing. He’s nothing more than a bulwark for the Zionazis and a concierge to the other powerbrokers.

And your brother! 🧟‍♂️

He’s already said he won’t run if Kamala does. They serve the same masters, and they know not to split the vote against any left contenders.

Would you have prefered a semicolon, professor?

Not cowards, dogs. They got the publicity they wanted out of it, and their masters tugged on their chain, so they let it go.

So… He’s a Communist in every way anyone would care about, except for you, because he’s not actively attempting to overthrow the US government? Before building a support base for a revolution?

So you can only be a Communist if you’re suicidal, I guess?

the communist line historically is 100% in favor of revolution since Marx.

Ffs even Marx himself participated in electoral politics. Revolution was always the inevitable outcome of struggle against bourgeois democracy failing to respond to the crises bared by the proletariat.

He’s using the strategies available to him now, just like me and you, and everyone else ever before us, and everyone else long after.

Again, this is just a big silly argument, drawing lines in the sand for no good reason. Calling some other Marxist organizer “at odds to the Communist struggle” while he delivers aid to Cubans and shining a light on their revolutionary struggle.

This is silly.

You are being silly.

Stop being silly.

Even Hasan doesn’t criticize demcent like this, and speaks very positively of demcent organizations.

Then what’s your problem??

Dawg, if you don’t think Hasan Piker is left enough to be a Communist, idk what to tell you. It’s just a silly thing to say.

Democratic Centralism…? Oooooh you’re a Tankie, I got it. I just noticed the domain.

Go back to your HoI4 campaign bud, and let the grownups do actual politics.

You’re saying what Hasan says, idk what else to tell you. He’s not trying to reform capitalism into socialism, he’s organizing a political base that will be capable of turning the coming political crises into a productive Communist movement.

At most you might say he’s a Democratic Socialist, because his goal is still to eventuate the abolition of capitalism. He’s a Communist who knows the best available action is political mobilization. He’s certainly not a SocDem who only wants to reform capitalism. He’s openly spoken in favor of worker revolution, but he’s also aware that such a thing isn’t possible in America, at least at this moment.

To be fair, Hasan is a Communist, and has called himself as such in the past. He uses the Progressive and Democratic-Socialist labels more these days for the same reason he wears suits now, to look less threatening to the audience seeing him on TV.

Principled, but weak. He’s a nice guy, not hard enough for the current political climate.

Every Republican alive is an affront to God.
