i also don’t understand why on earth are socdems attaching to him in remora-like fashion

it's very simple: socdems consider fascism to be more acceptable than any revolutionary socialist movement. it's a natural conclusion once you start thinking that if you reform capitalism slowly enough, the capitalists won't realize what's going on and you'll be able to sneak socialism in, despite overwhelming evidence that this is not the case.

no, but i mean in real sense, they are always thrown out (see aocia staffers, bernie campaigners) for the dem bureaucrats, it's not even jobs program, it's just pining your hopes on something rising and thinking "this is me, i'm doing it" instead of building/sabotaging stuff in the real world.

The bourgeoisie needs hirelings who enjoy the trust of a section of the working class, whitewash and prettify the bourgeoisie with talk about the reformist path being possible, throw dust in the eyes of the people by such talk, and divert the people from revolution by giving glowing descriptions of the charms and possibilities of the reformist path.

Vladimir Lenin, The Tasks of The Third International, 1919

same as it ever was. we have to take the failures and shortcomings of these reforms to push people towards a more revolutionary perspective.
