      There are no purity tests, there is socialist and then there are right wing fascists, Democrats fall within that category.

        They couldn’t even give up their slaves, give black people rights without blood, you think they’ll allow their power to be taken peacefully?

        Do you think we have no blood now? That homeless aren’t dying in the winter, that CEOs aren’t denying 90 percent of claims?

          You are right, so keep destroying the building before anything can get built.

          Because that has worked SOO great so far.

          When you alianate people, they shut you out.

          That’s how that works, it’s not rocket science.

          But tankies are so stupid, they think, “Oh, they’ll come around, I just need to be a bigger asshole/gatekeeper.”

              Oh, hey, Cowbee.

              Like always, coming in and deliberately trying to twist things around into something that wasn’t said or implied. (You need to change things up a bit.)

              No one remotely said or implied that communism is the reason capitalism is failing. No one was defending capitalism either.

              We were talking about how dumbass tankies come in, gatekeep, and act generally toxic to anyone that doesn’t toe the line.

              Very similar to what you just did.

              Thank you for proving my point.

                You sarcastically suggested that communists are “destroying the building before anything can get built,” right? Maybe I misunderstood and the building is actually some nebulous “progressive movement,” rather than capitalism itself. In that case, sorry for misunderstanding, but it’s still a bad point IMO. Communists attacking social democracy as ineffective isn’t destroying the movement, it’s trying to push people towards more effective practice.

        Something’s gotta give. The liberal approach doesn’t work. All they do is collude with Republicans.
