Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.
Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.

Trump is a neonazi and Biden is just the other racist who continues the genocidal sanctions on the underdeveloped world (and American imperialist operations in Yemen and Israel, of which Biden labeled himself a “Zionist” (totally normal)) and imperialist trade relations, continues the imperialist relationship with Central and South America (and Africa) while obscuring the “border crisis” and putting immigrants in concentration camps, upholds the men and movement that inspired Nazism (founding fathers and early Amerika), continues to fund the police so they can terrorize black and poor people, continues the colonialist relationship with Puerto Rico and Hawaii and South Korea, so on.
Why is Trump a neonazi? Because he said Nazi shit? The U.S. does Nazi shit all across the globe and to its own population. Biden is no less a neonazi than Trump.
I don’t want fully automated gay space communism, I want the very real tangible successes communists have and continue to make. No scratch that, we NEED that. The reality we live in is one in which communist nations still exist, in which third world progressive nations exist, in which disruption can and is done. You are spewing the same shit the 2nd International did, and you know what their detractors did? They created the freaking USSR

European parties advocating for these things are not the path to them. Electoral parties dont bring you communism, and parties advocating in Europe is not the example to follow. Also what the fuck does Putin have to do with anything? The German left parties are pro-Ukraine, France has shattered communist parties, Italy collapsed in the 90s, etc etc. At most you have the reformist liberal Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
You cannot even begin to think outside of what established electoral parties advocate for. And in Europe no less. Venezuela, Bolivia, China, Cuba, Vietnam, India, etc are the examples to look at. Along with African movements for de-colonization. The US doesn’t NEED a realistic opposition to the two parties, because a party opposition merely funnels people back into electoralism. The Bolsheviks didn’t do the October Revolution by voting in the Provisional Government. Mao didn’t beat Chiang in a race. Ho didn’t campaign for votes against Nixon. Even the examples that are electoral like the CPI-M(Marxist) are weaker and on the backfoot, but in the places they have power got there through militant action borne out of literal uprisings in those regions during partition.
Electoral parties do not bring political change, and the fact that you give a shit what european parties think let alone that some of them(?) “work with Putin” shows that you don’t want political change, you want a friendlier bourgeoise system

The point is “viability” as an electoral party being a concern means you have already failed to believe in the purpose of a Communist Party. The Socialist Party he refers to gained far more power than Communists ever do electorally, and was far more radical than the democrats ever have been, even under FDR. And yet that party when it held power changed nothing, the Communists did more through agitation pre-Eurocommunism. At best electoral or parliamentary left parties can work not by contesting elections but by refusing to vote or through guerilla tactics as Costello laid out

I recommend this piece by Rosa as the revolution in Germany began in which she spells out how all their attempts in the national Assembly amounted to NOTHING
The National Assembly is an outmoded legacy of bourgeois revolutions, an empty shell, a requisite from the time of petit-bourgeois illusions of a ‘united people’ and of the ‘liberty, equality, fraternity’ of the bourgeois State.
Socialism or barbarism (through climate catastrophe).
Don’t let them tell you what’s possible
