You’re just saying that because of the time the communists took a break from a revolution against monarchists to shoot at other communists. Or because of the other time they did that

I'd say fuckers problem isn't that we are organized but maybe; we're not a bunch of rock sucker's mixed in with a bag'o'rascists.
Is "rock" a typo? Don't get me wrong not cursing is cool too, just curious.
I assumed it was slang for crack cocaine users.
I support this new saying. What's wrong with people literally fitting the original label? I think we generally appreciate those people, right?
"Vote blue no matter who"
Sadly this is true, but it's more true and worse with the right.
I personally hate tucker, he is a scummy hypocrite puppet, and I personally hate the right and disagree with most of their selfish policies which often serve selective class, corporations or entities... but imo Tucker's statement was right here. If he wasn't, the US would have more than a two-party system. The DNC snupped Bernie in 2016, and pretty much forced him to endorse Hilary, the opponent who conspired against him and had vastly different stances on almost everything he campained for, and made him sell "vote blue no matter who" while conceding and pretending it's the same as voting for Hilary. If this was not true, he would've been able to fight and speak out.
With that being said, the right do the exact thing 10 times worse. Their main strategy is to oppose the left and block every proposed senate bill by them just because. The GOP is also full of senetors who opposed Trump then endorsed him and again it's all because of the two-party bullshit
Every time a right wing pundit talks about the left wing hive mind it's a clear tell that they have no understanding of their political rivals at all..
I think by "left" he means very slightly less right.
"The united front tactic is simply an initiative whereby the communists propose to join with all workers belonging to other parties and groups and all unaligned workers in a common struggle to defend the immediate, basic interests of the working class against the bourgeoisie." - 4th World Congress of the Communist International
Basically the thing Trump does where he hears some antiquated information and then his brain re-interprets it into a pre-school level understanding.
Ah yes “please for the love of shit stop fighting each other and fight the people we all agree are the problem instead” “see the left has always been unified”
If the left were even a fraction as organized as claimed, Bernie would have blown the primary out in 2016 and ridden into the whitehouse with solid majorities in both houses.
It honestly roils me how impotent the left is, because an active organized left could grab this country by the balls and drag it into a whole new era, but all we have is a million headed hydra with each neck pulling in a different direction because nobody can get over themselves for long enough to fall in line behind a common objective.
The Democratic party is still controlled by the rich just like the GOP. Different rich people, possibly with better morals, but they're still protecting their financial interests even when it isn't beneficial to the progressive policies they claim to support. So it wasn't "the Left" that ended up letting Trump win and fucked us for generations with a corrupt SCOTUS but the rich donors controlling the Democratic party.
Yeah because all those people that had zero turnout energy during the primary were actually paid off by the rich. That's why they didn't vote in the primary!
Fuck right off with this DNC conspiracy bullshit. Progressives owe their cause turning out, you don't get to blame everyone else for not doing the revolution for you while you're sitting on the couch instead of doing the literal barest minimum to actually materially support what you claim you believe in.
Fuck your words. Give the cause your actions, or can your empty platitudes about how it's everyone else's fault your side refused to vote.
Seriously the left would steam roll these yokals into oblivion
They're poor that's why.
Uneducated, low resources, no time, no money or means.
Wealth has nothing to with it. A lot of them are middle 'class'
That's still working class. It isn't wealth it is life. Wealthy people have time, working folk don't. Can't educate or organize the same and certainly don't have financial capacity to act.
Many middle class folk do not have friends, a place to entertain or amass others or time.
Not saying impossible just that is why I think we have issues there, the progressive folks are busy holding society together. Too busy to organize.
Yeah, a lot of the stuff that the "Left" fails on seems to be because it hits "well it's not exactly perfect and good for absolutely anybody do we're not gonna do it"
Whereas the "Right" is basically 'well it came from my guy so... seems good'
I think we’re also over-estimating the strength of the left in the US. I think a century of propaganda and witch hunts is still weighing on the prospects of anything overly pro-labor making it to the mainstream.
Well, I think that there's actually something to this. I've been involved in a lot of organizing spaces, and there's this "our backs are all up against a wall so we have to work towards a common goal of achieving a workers state and not dying due to climate change" vibe going around lately.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA why is everything they say pure projection? The left is a mishmosh of 1000 different pet causes with little to no leadership and the DNC has the strategic computing power of a tiger handheld. The right are the ones that can come together and tow the party line. It's just Trump that has made everything a bit more chaotic and given the left a clear target to unify against.
But look back to the Obama days and how solidly they blocked everything.
