Setting aside the clear opportunists, the rest of these NYC-DSA guys have a politics of absolute despair, that they pretend is hope. I find it quite sad (and pathetic and idiotic) that someone’s entire political imagination for emancipation relies on AOC being president.

[Nick ☭ 🌱 @redf0undation]

One of capitalism’s greatest ideological victories is convincing communists that the problem is who owns capital rather than the social relation of capital itself. A cooperative still produces commodities, remains subject to the law of value, and competes on the market.

[Ross Wolfe @rosswolfe]

This is not a Marxist, but rather a post-Marxist text. Laclau's description of an ideal populist leader is almost identical to Marx's description of Bonaparte in the Eighteenth Brumaire. He praises Péron for possessing the same qualities which Marx criticizes in Bonaparte.

@WxPolitics15 From my understanding Midwestern universities were immune to the worst of the McCarthyist purges in the 1950s, not sure how this has panned out more recently though.

@EcoTechBro @AKLAnarchists We imagine this easy solution where no one has to deconstruct their liberalism under the guise that a sudden moment of failure will reveal the value of socialism. It’s like the immiseration thesis, but instead of the economy it’s just for political education XD.

[gameing @postleftismSSB]

@EcoTechBro @AKLAnarchists I love the idea that when people realize they got tricked won’t get upset at the people who lied to them, but will immediately become radicalized. Instead of respecting other’s intelligence and teaching people the long and drawn out way in which many of us learned ourselves….

@Greynxgga69 What is this strange new trend of being proudly illiterate? Instead of questioning the theoretical position of the organization itself they conclude that the act of reading is what is causing perceived issues. This is deeply reactionary with a pseudo-liberatory patina.

[Lunar dysphoria @lunar_dysphoria]

Yeah it’s so strange that MR focuses on the contemporary development of capitalism, which is unimportant
compared to urgent topics like voting for democrats. That the people involved in that “revival” are broadly ignorant about how capitalism functions is neither here nor there.

"Bread and circuses," except the bread is 1,000 calorie cookies and the circus is "communist influencers" who try to convince you that actually the real communism is when you're a fascist.

[Domhnall (Cogito) @CogitoEdu]

The people suffering mass psychosis about Argentina (a nation with some of the most open and rights based migration policy on earth) say nothing about the hundreds of thousands of black Haitians being rounded up and caged by the Dominican Republic.

Pay attention.

[gameing @postleftismSSB]

@redf0undation They’re not a fed, just completely ignorant to an embarrassing level. They openly lamented the DSA-Left calling for a vote, and then morally grandstanded about not being a “tankie”XD.

[Luke(South African Ambassador to the USA) @lukeheerdanWTF]

Instead of trying to move the needle and make it that in American society slaughtering babies in the third world is not normalised they decide to help perpetuate that normalisation. and somehow we in the third world are supposed to think there’s a “left” in America

[Spooky Scary Socialist @SpookySocialist]

It’s rich hearing Ryan Grim talk about “journalistic malpractice” when he’s spent the last YEAR lying that Platner “never worked for Blackwater” despite his Blackwater hat, magnet, and working for its rebrand Constellis.

But when it comes to rape, we need to know every detail.

[Joshua @WxPolitics15]

So whatever ideals the white settler rebels were fighting for against the British Empire, it was not a progressive force but rather an intensification of colonization, with power democratically ceded to the white settler polity rather than the Crown

Guys sometimes it’s best not to take the bait, I get what caused this response but still. https://t.co/FuqRcMEbUZ

You can know that literature is a higher, more human, pursuit than music because there’s never been a virtuosic 6 year old novelist

[gameing @postleftismSSB]

Guy who thinks music is an ever changing and temporally contingent medium in which humans tap into only through the cultural and environmental knowledge around us, but language somehow is different XD.

[cj @chronowerks]

exactly wrong. music is a higher art bc of its inhumanity; it's something that "proceeds and exceeds" us but we can tap into it, while literature is inherently constrained to our symbolic representations. were you even paying attention in deleuzian sound studies class....

[Rosid ⚣🚩 @BitterMarxist]

If you're a struggling POC in poverty with no future ahead and no way to attend college.

You should join ICE instead of the millitary. They may be evil but still less in comparison.

Did reading that made you uncomfortable? You are a hypocrite who does not think Iraqis are human

[gameing @postleftismSSB]

@AprilsBooks As someone who’s from California and moved to the Midwest as a Preteen quite literally everyone who doesn’t engage in politics seemingly. The amount of times I’ve heard people here say they’d never move to California because it’s “Too left wing.”, is infuriating.

[gameing @postleftismSSB]

@SquintFeastwood @extra_beef_ Oddly enough, the most sycophantic fans he has seemingly know about his relationship with that other streamer. They just do it for the love of the game, I’ve seen accounts talk about how sexy he is while yelling at other people to not talk about who he’s dating simultaneously.
