There are many actions we need to do. Some of them are non violent. The main issue of concern, in my opinion, is getting all of the working class in solidarity. Without it, I doubt much can change.
is getting all of the working class in solidarity.
The right has successfully leveraged the desires of the left into tools to radicalize the right. Instead of butting heads with immovable dunces about people they simply don’t care about, we have to make a larger and more concerted effort to leverage this back to a class war.
I say this and people immediately assume I’m saying “capitulate on rights for marginalized groups” because ya’ll didn’t learn how to read in school and it’s keeping you from understanding nuance.
No, I mean that you can GET all of us protected and restore our freedoms and social respect if we make sure the dumbest segment of the country is focused first and foremost on the idea that their tax money isn’t being used to help them. Simple Bernie-Book tactics that have proven successful because it’s unifying. Every other social issues branches off from that, so lets cut to the heart of our shared problem.
What we have to learn to handle better is when agitators climb into the discussion and say “But the leeeeffft also wants your tax money going into sex changes for immigrants in prison and litter boxes in schools!” and we have to learn to stop getting outraged by those kinds of claims and just shrug. Say “So?” and move the fuck back to why eggs are $14 a carton. I believe our problem isn’t that we’re trying to get basic human rights broadly, but that too many progressives are actually uncomfortable with what that entails and the defensiveness makes it seem like a shameful thing to want. Bullies sense it, they capitalize on it, they want you riled up and hateful.
Project 2025 states pretty clearly that their strat is to provoke violence from the left and capitalize on it to turn public opinion. And nonviolent movements succeed more often. I want the bastards dead as much as the next guy, but it’s probably not the winning move.
Nonviolence won’t save the American liberals, the fascist right is violent right now and blame is still thrown on the liberals and the left.
Why do liberals have to do everything for leftists? Oh, it’s because there are so few leftists that they can’t win elections.
If the
foreign actorsleftists on Lemmy want to get violent, no one is stopping them from following their own advice.Voter suppression in left leaning areas is a largely right leaning agenda.
That voter suppression is used against all non GOP voters. But leftists still have so few voters that they have to team up with the DNC to even have a voice.
Yet it was somehow leftists fault Kamala lost. We’re both so few that we can’t win anything, but so numerous that without us Dems lose.
Both outcomes require leftists to not vote and that’s what they have a reputation for.
Not just a reputation - many many threads and comments crowing about how they weren’t going to vote, how they hope trump wins to teach the Dems a lesson.
So successful.
Links to them?
Search this comm from Aug-Oct of last year. Specifically anything about Harris
So no links, gotcha.
If you think what I’m saying isn’t the case - you’re dead wrong.
If you want me to put together a report for you - that is also wrong.
If you have a genuine actual interest and good faith - which you don’t - it’s right there.
