@Gattungswesen25 Okay?? DOTP is a necessary step towards socialism, if you want to play the semantics game. Either way there will be a transitional phase before the abolition of the commodity form/classes. Imagining otherwise is utopian.

@AprilsBooks Online ‘Marxists’ are really saying “don’t organize,” lol.

Do you people do anything but whine?

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@JonHardwick98 @Lucas21438 @Socialist_Wins The most popular senator in the US is an independent.

Third party bids can succeed. The structural and financial barriers make that a challenge, but that’s just more reason to fight for a principled politics, instead of the same old ‘lesser of two evils’ routine.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@dj_mackelfresh Voting ‘third party’ is not voting Republican. It’s voting third party.

Take your issue up with actual Republican voters.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@whocareenergy @anixarchive We agree on that. The Sino-Soviet split was a disaster for the world socialist movement. I blame the Soviets for much of that, but Mao’s China regarding the USSR as a greater threat than the US was clearly wrong—compelling Deng to course correct

@AprilsBooks This seems bad faith. The org criticized mischaracterizations and distortion.

The ultra-left accepting any any criticism of PSL at face-value is such a lazy practice. ‘No investigation, no right to speak.’

@thestustustudio Very impressed by her position on Irish unification. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! 🇮🇪

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@AprilsBooks PSL is a majority gender-oppressed group, with women comprising the majority of leadership. Slandering a socialist org online achieves nothing.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@comradepinks Both get recommended plenty. The Manifesto has a higher literary quality than ‘Principled.’ The rhetoric is also more memorable and moving. And the Manifesto contains everything mentioned in ‘Principles’—and more.

Communists, of course, should be well-versed in both texts.

@JonHardwick98 @BOOOOOOOOOO00M @Socialist_Wins You seem upset.

More people each day are leaving the democrat party for ‘third parties’ as you call them. Shaming people into voting for centrist Dems won’t win them back.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@JonHardwick98 @Lucas21438 @Socialist_Wins But what’s the point of being in power if you sell out your principles? That’s the problem.

Also, Epstein-affiliate Stephen Hawking is no authority on political issues. Quite the contrary…

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@austrosillyism You people are psychotic. Helping people meet their needs into “loss leading”—it benefits society.

Social decisions should not be reduced to an anti-social ‘productivity’ measurement. Thankfully, unlike you, most people understand this.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@JonHardwick98 @BOOOOOOOOOO00M @Socialist_Wins It’s good that genocide supporter Kamala Harris lost—but also bad genocide supporter Trump won.

Unlike Jon, I didn’t vote for either genocide supporters. I plan to do the same for the Ohio Senate vote in 2026.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@Lucas21438 @Socialist_Wins False binary. Myself and other working-class Ohioans are done voting for the genocidal Democratic Party and sellouts like Sherrod.

I’m voting on principle, not based on fallacious thought experiments.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@jamieHello_ @JK270towin @kaefair Also, the goal isn’t to “push Sherrod left.” Sherrod has been a sell-out for decades. He won’t change.

The goal is to change politics in Ohio, to fight for working-class power.

Greg Levy won my vote for championing socialism. Other Ohioans will see that too.

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@TheSpookyGengar We agree that we don’t want MAGA to win at all. But the left needs to think beyond the ‘lesser evil’ logic.

Do we want to take a chance on an independent who has great politics or make the supposedly “safe” choice to vote for a career politician with (at best) a mixed record

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@kaefair @jamieHello_ @JK270towin The Democratic Party is a graveyard for working-class politics. That lesson has been proven again and again…

I wish Ohio’s ‘Working Family Party’ would recognize that, instead of reject any independent working-class candidate.

I’m joining Akron DSA and voting for Greg Levy

[Leam Rachtebowiths @Rachtebowiths]

@zadenmo @JonHusted This “viability” cliche only serves to justify voting for the lesser-of-two-evils candidates. We (the left) have been doing that for decades and what have we gained from it?

I’m not voting for Sherrod Brown or Jon Husted. I’m voting for the working-class guy running as a leftist
