  • Unions at their core are just all of the workers in a workplace. Sure workers in the US can be reactionary as hell so how do we change that? Well, Lenin talked about unions being schools for communism. They’re where the average person can start to gain organizational skills, political training and ultimately state building skills. These are skills no other school in the US will teach you. You take these skills to address the material conditions of the workplace and then you can broaden that to outside the workplace. As socialists we don’t get power from capital, we get it from people. If we want any chance of meaningful power in the imperial core, then we need to meet people where they’re at in the struggle. Lots of those people are workers struggling in workplaces and unions are the tool we can use to address that.
















  • I see where you’re coming from. Elect enough socialists/progressives to some state legislature such that they can pack a committee. When/ if a conservative piece of legislation comes through the committee, poison pill it with good stuff and hope it leads to a legal battle in the supreme court. To get to that point would require electing enough socialists/progressives. And those elected being disciplined enough to not break ranks (either through a single party or a strong coalition). I feel like if we got to that point the ruling class would actually see it as a threat and drop pretenses. You already see these huge well funded recall campaigns when a single progressive or socialist gets elected to a city council spot.



  • eggman-announcement “I’ve come to make an announcement; Big Pharma’s a bitch ass motherfucker, he pissed on my fucking wife. Thats right, he took his overpriced-insulin quilly dick out and he pissed on my fucking wife, and he said his dick was “This big” and I said that’s disgusting, so I’m making a callout post on my twitter dot com, Big Pharma, you’ve got a small dick, it’s the size of this walnut except WAY smaller, and guess what? Here’s what my dong looks like: PFFFT, THAT’S RIGHT, BABY. ALL POINTS, NO QUILLS, NO PILLOWS. Look at that, it looks like two balls and a bong.”

    This means they’re finally going to give us healthcare right?
