To redirect revolutionary energy from destroying to the system to just criticizing Trump. It is a way for them to gain popular support and show themselves as anti-establishment instead of the bourgeoisie that they are who need to be overthrown
I hate to break it to you all but PSL and Young Communists league both participated and co-sponsored the event
Kind of says a lot about those orgs if they are on the same side as a billionaire
To be fair, like thousands of orgs participated and co-sponsored it including multiple socialist, trade unionist and progressive groups. It was extremely big tent, so big tent that it’s basically meaningless
I’m sure they all had their own agendas. The Waltons would want a President who doesn’t tariff everything. The PSL and similar orgs used the opportunity to find dissent to recruit.
Yeah it’s a good opportunity for agitation and recruitment, not surprised to hear the PSL was there.
Well, that’s fair. I didn’t realize it was that big.
Sounds like 3-4 million people showed up. Pretty damn big
