@InsightTweeting I dunno if folks are ready for that convo. How are they supposed to shake an identity that everyone insists upon. Even the most poor and unfortunate "white" will still cling to the social status.

@mitch_shadix @kuiperDXB @magattew But the gaurdrails we already have don't prevent power consolidation, and isn't that the primary concern people have when talking about Central Gov?

[Saw Jimmy is Online 🗣 @TheSawJimmy1]

@mitch_shadix @kuiperDXB @magattew And how does this book fix Monopolies from developing and companies being bought up and competition being supressed?

@LordGrimdark Is that a crack in the Vigga nail I see? How appropriate.

How much do I have to post on here to suddenly and always have either AI or real life OF models appear in my reply's offering to do my chores?

@DannyKPolitics @chaneIgogetit Saying something like a bot while not being a bot is a sad existence

[Max Kennerly @MaxKennerly]

Reminder of what a huge sucker you are if you voted for Trump to "shake up the system."

You voted for the people who already have the power and the money.

They're not going to share it. They're going to take more from you. You gave them permission.

🙃🙃Dems need to move to the center🙃🙃

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

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.
