they were tremendously proud of plastic cards when they first came out and i was happy for them until i realized they had to write their own name on them. dsa may take 6 months to send you a paper business card but at least it's printed

i think it'd be worth it to join the communist party if the card has a special barcode that allows you to skip customs when you travel to other IMCWP countries like china or cuba. it's like a TSA precheck but for communism

an unending stream of hotdog necked not-cops holding up a cpusa card, awkwardly trying to flirt with any lady customs officals with "wow, i bet you sent a lot of men to the gulag baby, we love those" forever

It's leftism where the "post" in the above phrase, rather than referring to a set chronological period coming in the aftermath of the subject, refers in fact to the act of "posting" on an internet message board such as Something Awful or Twitter. This joke is still funny.

Democratic strasserites of amerika is a funny avatar text. Its people who want to distance themselves from what was traditionally considered "left" thought such as marxism, anarchism or social democracy. They are stupid because marxism is correct

They tend to be crust-punks.

In reality post left is for people who are too infantile for regular anarchism. They just want an excuse to call themselves anarchists without having to adopt any of the leftwing economics.

I don't think it's a positive project with a vision to work for, "post-leftists" seem simply committed to saying that any leftist goals are fatally flawed and also possibly just capitalism in disguise.

one the one hand, it's sad that leftists have no power because it means capital will finish consuming the world until it's a combination of cyberpunk dystopia and Norse ragnarok. but on the other hand, the only place we do have power is Facebook groups, and the way we use it there shows we shouldn't wield it anywhere else

we have no power whatsoever on facebook, with facebook or using facebook. that's why we act like that. don't mistake the computer toucher PR with material reality friend.

did an investigation (brief google and twitter search) so I have the right to speak, seems like there's a 'post-left' strain of anarchism but it's also somehow come into use to refer to the aimee terese/etc set of weird pseudo-reactionary socdems, even though these are completely different things


if you meet someone really into stirner that's the first kind, if you meet someone with the politics of a right-wing labour MP but in DSA-adjacent circles for some reason that's the second kind

everything online is a simulacrum of real politics, not a simulation. all material concerns are stripped away just leaving individuals fighting over the stupidest poo poo as if it's life or death. the only thing online demonstrates is what politics and society will look like when people are completely atomized from one another and there's no such thing as shared sacrifice or common cause.
