uh, well I don't agree, and I don't think I'll ever agree. Ultimately, a system's dynamics determines its behavior, and that applies as much to capitalism as to stalin. It's through understanding those dynamics, and intentionally creating new ones, that progress is made. I simply believe in the creation of a new system.

We'll simply have to leave that difference of opinion there.

otoh, i get linked to some cool poo poo by following their twitter. on the other, they seem overly reliant on co-ops. not sure whether they push co-ops as a transitional demand or as an end goal

why do you say they suck?

they're basically trots

speaking as a horrible degenerate trot, i dont think co-ops are anything approaching a transitional demand, and i dont think anyone who understands what a transitional demand is would characterize them that way either

well, they would allow commies to accumulate capital in the meantime, so i guess they'd be useful in that sense. socialist parties aren't exactly drowning in private donations from capital holders who do actually share their interests

thats not what a transitional demand is or what the point of one is. a transitional demand is one that tries to bridge the gap between mere reforms and revolution, by putting forward demands which both raise revolutionary consciousness of workers, but also cannot actually be met under capitalism. in 1917 they were "peace, land, bread" in 2018 they could be full employment, public housing for all, etc. the whole point is they are demands put on the bourgeois state that appeal to workers because of how they are linked to their everyday lives and struggles, but also raise the specter of just how incapable capitalist society is of actually meeting these demands
