Jeg genudsender lige dette tweet fra 2022. Tillykke @Spolitik I har fået som fortjent. I kunne have brugt det røde flertal da I havde det.

[Magnus @Magnusboystrup]

Kan i huske da Socialdemokratiet var i ekstase over det røde flertal på valgaftenen? Hvorfor fejrede i det?

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point.

Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it.  It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this.

But these are all just symptoms.  The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned.

Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even *basic* steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future.

Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment.  At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development.

The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital.

And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative.

So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.

Fuck centrister. I er fucking affald.

@Stille_og_rolex Jeg kommer kun til at stemme på folk som holder halvanden times lange taler og danser til YMCA.

Åndelig neoliberalisme har dræbt klassebevidstheden, hvilket ultimativt vil føre til demokratiets fald. Death by a thousand (tax)cuts

@StinesTweet Det lykkes ikke ved at stemme på én af de to kandidater, når de er en del af den samme mønt. Det har ikke fungeret i de sidste fire år hvor de har haft magten, det ville heller ikke fungere i de næste fire. Håb uden handling løser intet. Handling igennem håb virker.

[Magnus @Magnusboystrup]

@StinesTweet Det er ligegyldigt, hvem man stemmer på; dét er pointen. Enten fortsætter man i den virkelighed, der eksisterer i dag et røgslør af progressivitet, som ikke findes. Eller også river man plasteret af og kalder en spade for en spade, nemlig fascisme. Systemet arbejder ikke for dig.

Brug den samme vrede I har mod “de dumme amerikanere “ på vores politikere herhjemme. Vi har selv kursen mod afgrunden.

France’s extraordinary election results provide an urgent, valuable lesson.

Don’t concede ground to those who sow division and fear. Build a bold Left movement that offers an alternative of inclusion and hope.

That is how you defeat the far right.
