I agree with Jewel Repetition. Living in a Liberal Democracy is so much better than the poo poo they'd like to do.

do you have some sort of tic where you have to preface actual concrete ideologies with terms that devalue them based on your dull whims

How many states will PSL be on in November or is it too early to tell? I haven't found anything about it on their website.

too early to tell, i think. california is a lock but there should be more ballot access this time around now that the candidates have constitutional eligibility

no, people who don't bother reading my posts conflated my quoting visitor accounts and expressing mild interest in going with praising forever the glorious juche idea and believing the dprk did nothing wrong. just like what happens anytime someone takes a position on actually existing socialism itf that isn't "cavernous meat grinder where millions are dumped daily"

A substantial majority of young Americans explicitly reject capitalism (in some way, shape, or form), a solid nine percent believe communism is the most compassionate social system, and many more believe in some sort of "socialism." I would expect that most of the people in this thread are on the cutting edge of an enormous political shift in this country.

There's a lot of work to do organizing the people whose lives are being destroyed by the changes in material circumstances underlying all those people waking up one morning and deciding capitalism sucks. Fortunately, folks like us are doing great work all over the country not just fighting for $15, but fighting to stop us from starting lovely new wars, fighting gentrification, fighting to bring an end to racist immigration policies that made Obama the Deporter-In-Chief, and fighting to bring an end to the carceral state.

I fully expect the Hillary presidency to radicalize plenty more of my peers, just like Obama's presidency radicalized me.

I don't know if I want to vote PSL but if I decide I wanted to do you know how I would help get them on the ballot in Ohio? I assume there is an amount of signatures or something and am also assuming that there is a party person somewhere in Ohio that organizes all that stuff.

talked to my friend out in california about this and he wasn't sure about ohio. right now they're only on the ballot in florida and they'll do their best to get on california. my best advice is to contact the party office and see if there's any interest in making it happen in your neck of the woods
