…right in the heart.
Made me cry.
1·2 years agoAccelerationism, that is, letting fascism run wild in the hopes of that building up a socialist alternative, is a ludicrous ideology that will only lead to millions of deaths.
AOC is doing what the unions wanted her to do.
It’s important. It proves I was right.

that’s just accelerationism.
I mean, the analogy breaks down, so maybe I shouldn’t have carried on with it.
I meant organising unions and co-ops and parties is easier under social democracy than under fascism.
I mean, yeah, social democracy is not socialism. It’s capitalism. It will not directly lead to socialism. But opposing carrots is objectively easier than sticks.
I am a communist. I am an anarchist. I am a Marxist. I am a socialist. My disagreements are based purely on those terms.
Please read what I’m writing and trying to say rather than just memeing and dunking. This is important.
The entire post is about how expecting elected officials to enact socialism is pointless. That happens outside of congress. But a social democratic congress is much better and conducive to socialism than one that’s not.
That’s just wrong and and this kind of rhetoric only hurts the most marginalised amongst us. The Democrats are not the ones passing anti-trans and anti-abortion bills.
There is a different between Democrats and Republicans and the only people who benefit from hiding that fact are the Republicans.
What?
No, AOC is not going to bring about socialism. That’s my point. Expecting that of her, and being disappointed when she doesn’t deliver, is ludicrous. She’s not going to just go in and break things. She’ll get booted next term and be replaced by a neoliberal who’ll just make things worse. Her job is to do as much good for as many people as possible by working within the system.
Well, we’ve never had socialism in a developed country so there’s no direct evidence for it.
But it makes sense. A country with a social democratic government and institutions is closer to socialism. It’s a smaller jump from one to the other, than it would be under any other government.
Do you disagree?

Go out.
Don’t not go out.
