    • Critique to build, not tear down
    • Organize, don’t just argue
    • Ego kills movements
    • Division is a weapon used by elites, don’t play along

    These ones in particular.

    People in this thread slinging around insults trying to upset each others ’ egos and start quarrels.

      *choose the lesser of two evils, despite the option of not choosing evil always being an option

      *keep the Neoliberals and their rich doners in power

      *shrug shoulders and make up excuses instead of allowing real change to happen.

      Neoliberals have helped push the country right for over 50 years, we are done learning this lesson.

      The leftists will not be shamed into letting the Neoliberals keep us down any longer.

      This election the Neoliberals can get with the program or get the fuck out of the way

        There needs to be a large movement to oppose the neoliberal parties. And that requires avoiding schisms. And starting arguments about every little thing isn’t the way to do that.

        Communist movements have seized power by building broad movements of national liberation + the proletariat + the peasant class + the semi-proletariat + the petty bourgeoisie.

        Communist movements have failed when they let faddists and cranks ventilate their opinions on vaccination, vegetarianism, technology, etc. and derail the movement. Internal discord is the chief enemy.

        Socialism is seizing the means of production from the private capitalists. Agreed? If you’re on board with that, you’re a comrade, even though we may disagree about trivial matters like cartoons.
