And they still won't get it, which they should realise after decades of dangling it in front of them, but alas. Also i wouldn't call dems "left".
I genuinely believe it's a card the bourgeoisie is reserving to preserve imperialism by uniting the populace in support of the regime. The DNC can pivot to a social imperialist stance and retain imperialism for a bit longer that way, US wars are all unpopular now and cracks are showing. A social fascist pivot by the DNC could buy some time and make US imperialism more popular.
So what is your plan of action to get it?
VOOOOOOOTEEEEE HARDERRRRRRRR!!!
Revolution and the implementation of socialism. It's a necessary step forward for any lasting progress.
I mean do mainstream dems support health care for all a la NHS? AFAIK they don't. Honestly I think they will get health care for all and that will be it. I kind of see Mahmdani getting elected as the beginning of the end of the American left.
Not really. Most are still wanting to possibly have something in place for the less fortunate but still keep the majority the same. we just need to control spending to reform the insurance companies!
Mmm after having American politicos steal a bunch of ideas from me, and then not pay me. I really don't give a fuck about american politics anymore. I just learn about it through osmosis now a days.
