i actually have the opposite problem with social democrats. they're out in the streets agitating that they need to found a union and they don't have time to join unpopular positions like fighting ICE because they're too focused on purist marxist theory to bother with dealing with issues of race.

meanwhile: the workplace they're trying to unionize already has a union and the only workers at that workplace who aren't in the union are the democratic socialists who refuse to join because the union supports resisting ICE because ICE makes their workplace more dangerous.

in conclusion: here have an upvote anyway. fuck these nerds

The downvotes show how many are here.

That said, wtf why trotsky

Why hate on democratic socialists?

because they demostrate what tankies think should be thought as impossible: humane politics without the dictatoriat of the self-indulgent non-workers trying to coopt a society's governing tools in their name

I was going to upvote until I realized the other one is Trotsky, I can get behind calling a shitlib a idiot but Trotsky will never be based.

⛏️

dang OK 😔

That system cannot be sustained without imperialism. The Nordic countries receive their wealth from the imperial periphery. We need something better than capitalism with a facelift

Because they accept the framework of bourgeois "democracy" and are idealistic reformers

I think you mistake democratic socialism with social democracy

I keep seeing you misuse this meme format. Quality over quantity, please. Improvements over time acknowledged, but inadequate.

I always get them confused 😔

one becomes the other in practice

them dividing the union by starting a second union?
