if nothing else, one should go vote to scare cowards away with numbers. 100 million bernie voters or whatever alone would say a lot about what people think about billionahs, and some are bound to run away, possibly resulting in less problems later when poo poo actually hits the fan, which isn't amazing, but it's also a lot more than loving nothing for just throwing a paper into a box.

Atrocious Joe posted:this dead, gay forum is not a great cross section of US society yeah, the society is even further to the right. bernie's fiscal policies are spot on with far right parties in my country, and the society won't vote for him because they think he's an unelectable radical commie. of course, he's way to the left of most in idpol, which is great, but lmao that right wingers poisoned the ~but that's socialism~ well so much a tepid socdem grandpa can run as a socialist. honestly, it's probably good. when the window manages to shift back to the left a bit red scare won't be a thing anymore since everyone to the left of reagan is a socialist now Truga fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Mar 6, 2020 |

Terrorist Fistbump posted:Yeah I've been referring to the Sanders theory of change as mass hypervoluntarism when discussing it with friends who are into Bernie, Chapo, whatever. Zizek advocates for this mindset in First as Tragedy, which I've long admired as a direct refutation of doomerism, but it doesn't really seem to hold up even analytically when applied to electoral politics. For one thing, it puts the horizon of change far closer to the present for it to count as anything more than yet another periodic realignment. For another, there's very little attention given to a long-term strategy; it's only ever partially articulated and always relies on winning THIS fight, which is far from assured. For a third, First as Tragedy was published in 2009 and we don't have the same set of strategic constraints anymore. ehh, it's not *completely* impossible. bernie keeps saying that getting people in to office is just the beginning of a long rear end process. a violent revolt is going to have the same problem, but with even more shooting involved, which is the thing to avoid. the hope here is that the buzz around socialist grandpa election succeeds in building a movement massive and organized enough that capital can't oppose entirely consequence free, and then work from there. after all, the only alternative currently in the oven is a revolt that's gonna make 1917 look like a piece of cake by comparison, and nobody in their right mind should be gunning for that (but do prepare for it anyway).

Lightning Knight posted:Like if you want to argue that the Soviet Union was morally obligated to invade Germany when they invaded France that’s one thing but I don’t think you’ve laid out how they could have sustained that military action in practice. look dude i played hoi4 as ussr several times and there's just no scenario where ussr doesn't hold the entire world by 1941 if the leader is competent

Enjoy posted:Counterpoint: the genocide campaign of the Nazis would not have happened first, nazi genocide campaigns started really shifting gears sometime around 1937-8, when molotov thing happened it was already a done deal second, do you think sacrificing another an extra 10-20 million eastern european draftees in the garbage fire of ww2 would be somehow better than what had happened? if yes please explain how

THS posted:ppl who disagree over whether to vote green or psl for president is so funny, cant think of anything less that matters IMO, electoralism can and should be used by the proletariat to make a fight, even if only slightly, easier. having an actually-left-of-center party pass the 5% margin or whatever might make fighting for things ever so slightly easier. that's not to say you should count on BEB to actually give you anything by itself (because let's face it, dems/reps will just raise the funding limit to 10% if a third party gets to 5% by some miracle, but you can then point to that fact and maybe radicalize a couple more people), but just like rope, electoral bullshit is a tool that's being sold by capitalists
