Unironically this is a reason why I came around to appreciate the way marxists.org is designed. That site will load on a tomagotchi, and without pop ups or any other modern web nonsense

Good thing Israel can fix this overnight if it wants to.
Hell yeah I’m gonna lose weight
Find the wins where you can.
I was out flyering with some comrades recently. We were handing out BDS flyers outside grocery stores trying to get people to avoid certain products. Most people were friendly or neutral, a couple were snippy but nothing crazy.
But the one encounter I’m going to hold onto is the woman who took my last flyer. She was an older lady who was driven to the curb right beside the store entrance. I handed her my last flyer and said “we’re supporting Palestine today”
She stopped.
“Did you say support Palestine?”
“Yes”
A slow, warm smile formed.
“I’m Palestinian. Thank you.”
You never know when you will make someone’s day just by being out there. Hope you are feeling better Comrade! heart-sickle
There has to be a systemic explanation behind this. Some combo of alienation, desire to “get rich quick” and being pressured under Capitalism to get ahead in anyway possible.
It’s not just cups. It’s funko pops, trading cards, basically any nerd thing that people think are collectible, obsession over “flipping” storage units, etc.
Do people in China have similar crazes? Is there a “tickle me elmo” type stampede that happened in the past?
I wonder how much of that sentiment comes from people shifting left after being staunch Dems for years. It’s hard to completely break away, especially when the new group you are breaking to is considered “fringe” and is much less accepted in mainstream society.
And the national level Democrats failing to pass things during the years they have total control while doing things like
makes it harder to trust the local ones.Like most of the Dems running in my state with the party backing are all getting money from the realtors’ association and the power company…
IDK fashion but I know nearly every woman under 50 around here has a winter “outfit” that is black leggings and some big puffy sweater or jacket. Jeans are a rare sight
For a party that claims to care about Democracy its shitty to not even hold a Primary in most states. In my state the only options I get are Genocide Joe and “No Preference”. So guess who isn’t taking the Democratic ballot?
Following this line of thinking… why aren’t we seeing leftists getting elected across the Midwest? Could electoralism be a viable plan in these states?
