We have to think bigger. We have to build power for ourselves and not be dependent on capitalist funded parties and their strategies of diffusion. We need our own strategy, one that aims for power, and our own tactics that correspond to that strategy.
On one end of the spectrum we have atomized radicals preaching about militancy, completely ignoring the still timid mindset of the working class.
On the other end we have social democrats tailing the program of their preferred politician. Neither approach makes any sense.
The most urgent task for the Left isn't to fight for healthcare or lower rents, the number one priority is to build an anti-war movement.
Imperialism's only chance at solving the capitalist crisis is through war. This is going to be its biggest weakness. That's where we strike.
I'm annoyed with the lack of discussion on concrete strategy, so here's a thread about concrete strategy🧵
The anti-war movement is the only feasible road to establishing this power at the moment.
It will be working class people who are sent to die in these wars. It will be working class people who are killed on the other side. It has to be working class people who resist.
Just don’t lose the long term goal out of sight: Organizing working class power that is independent of the prevailing bourgeois parties. Working class power that can fight not just for the minimal program, but our long term vision as well.
This is where economist demands can be made: Money for healthcare instead of Palantir! Fund schools instead of the military! Use these demands to show working class people that their desire for a good life is in direct contradiction with the rich's designs for wars.
The minimum program attacks the imperialists where they are weak: they have to use the economies productive forces to prepare their wars. We want them to be used to improve people’s lives.
We need short term demands, a minimum program, as well as a long term vision of where we want our society to head. Without a minimum program we can’t get people on our side, without a maximum program we have nowhere to go once people are rallied around us.
We have to think bigger. We have to build power for ourselves and not be dependent on capitalist funded parties and their strategies of diffusion. We need our own strategy, one that aims for power, and our own tactics that correspond to that strategy.
Politician can promise you the world, but whatever relief they are able to get for you will be quickly nullified by the general crisis. That doesn’t mean we completely shun economist demands, but these are only wins for the working class when it's the working class that wins them.

Imperialist propaganda relies on fabricating atrocities and reporting on manufactured crises, whereas anti-imperialist propaganda relies on exposing the actual atrocities committed by the imperialists.
The truth is on our side.
Becoming a revered mid 20th century philosopher by saying shit like being is the act of consuming and metabolizing and having newspapers print black and white portraits of me looking vaguely sad.
Stan culture rots your brain, kpop is audiovisual proof of the DPRK's superiority, Taylor Swift is an eco-terrorist and your faves' politics are subject to change depending on what their label's demographic research indicates.
You replaced a poorly organized and vulnerable workforce with some of the most highly organized and exploitative formations in human history :)
Replacing artists with LLMs because management thinks its cheaper will be a great lesson in monopoly capitalism. Congrats, production cost is no longer decided by the collective bargaining power of your workers, but by what the LLM monopoly thinks it can squeeze out of your firm.
yes, hello, i am highly qualified and have experience in this exact position can I have an actual interview or–oh, a LLM generated email telling me to go fuck myself
i don't remember looking for a job being this humiliating

Their oscillating character is their most important characteristic, being caught between the prospect of entering the bourgeoisie proper or being cast back into the proletariat.
There is no such thing as "a middle class" btw. There are middle classes (plural), but they don't constitute a single or solid stratum like the bourgeoisie and the working class do.
