Says What Trump Did to the Right, Needs to Happen on the Left

Necessary in evolving the correct tactics for international communism if they

were correct then certain conclusions must be drawn

Of course there can be no question of placing conditions in Russia on a par

with conditions in Western Europe

But as regards

But as regards the particular question of the meaning of the concept that

parliamentarianism has become politically obsolete

Do account should be taken of our experience for unless concrete experience is

taken into account such concepts very easily turned into empty phrases

Maybe even saying stuff like revolution now in the United States of America

In 2025 in September November 1917 did we the Russian Bolsheviks not have more

right than any Western communist to consider that

Parliamentarianism was politically obsolete in Russia

Of course we did for the point is not whether bourgeois parliaments have

existed for a long time or a short time

But how far the masses of the working people are prepared

Ideologically politically and practically

Mmm much to consider there to accept the Soviet system and to dissolve the

bourgeois democratic parliament or allow it to be dissolved

It is an absolutely incontestible and fully established historical fact that in

September to November

1917 the urban working class and the soldiers in the presence of Russia were

because of a number of special conditions

Exceptionally well prepared to accept the Soviet system and it is spanned the

most Democrat the most democratic of bourgeois parliaments nevertheless

The Bolsheviks did not boycott the constituent assembly

But took part in the elections both before and after the proletariat conquered

political power that these elections yielded

exceedingly valuable and to the proletariat highly useful political results has

I make bold to hope been proven by me in the

above-mentioned article which analyzes in detail the returns of the elections

to the constituent assembly in Russia now the reason why

The reason why this is important

And ties back to what I was saying is that

I'm gonna repeat it

Americans broadly do not know what socialism is and those who have been taught

what socialism is has been taught wrong and are

Terrified of it. They have been negatively polarized against it

Don't you think that if one of the major two parties has viable socialist

alternatives at a time of their utmost?

Weakness and their weakest point of all time would actually get a lot more

people on board to not be afraid of this terminology

Don't you think that that would be viable and maybe even later down the line

building a fucking alternative third party?

Because a lot of people Michael from Pennsylvania included have talked about

Bernie Sanders building a third party

This is the best possible time to do it Bernie Sanders clearly doesn't seem to

think so he thinks that they

We still need to utilize the existing confines of the Democratic Party

maybe that's because he is old and an institutionalist and and I guess for some

reason a

Defender of Joe Biden and he's done a lot of things that I don't agree with in

general

But ultimately but ultimately the very fact that Bernie Sanders is a known

entity in American politics and has since

2016 by running for the Democratic primary and

Having an incredibly successful run within the Democratic primary structure

within 2016 that created a

A a for the first time ever a vision of a socialist America should

Possibly allow you to understand that working within the existing duopoly is

not the worst idea at least in the interim

Okay

For years and years

Palestinians wanted awareness they wanted a recognition for their humanity the

game has changed now because they finally got it

okay

Back then I'm sure there were plenty of people 20 years ago that also simply

wanted a one-party state

Okay, but these

Conversations were not being had in the Western world at all

Because these things take time because it requires at first brought awareness

initiatives and then you move into

Mobilizing then you move into organizing then you make demands

Then when your demands are not met you actually show your power and the way you

show your power is through work stoppages

All of this stuff takes time. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to

organize around okay

labor militancy did not happen in this country overnight and

It was squashed after decades and decades of propaganda and violence from the

state and also

legislation I

Would agree with you if any of the left in the Democratic Party was like Trump.

That's okay. There you go

The that great you understand what I'm saying here

What Trump has done in the fascist direction for the Republican Party must be

done in the socialist direction within the Democratic Party

It's a lot harder of a bargain

But we're not even moving in that direction at all

it is crazy that this is the closest at least in my lifetime that I have ever

gotten to

Seeing the Democrats come to terms with left

Populism as a as a messaging tool and there are still leftists in this chat so-

called leftists in this chat

That are

Unironically turning around and be like nah dude. It's fucking fake. No reason

No reason to be the change we want to see fuck you. This is defeatism. This is

nihilism

You must exhaust all options, okay, that's it. That's it

We have like 10 social Democrats in Congress and chatters are trying to compare

the conditions in Russia that led to the revolution

I know I know I know in summary ironically lives are finally listening and

paying attention policies over aesthetics

It's at least a good sign that people actually appreciate good policies even in

this case

The representative is potentially to flawed us on is not defending Graham

himself

But rather he's applauding the general public's focus on critical policies for

once exactly

Yeah, man supporting Plattners Nazi as is defeatism

How can you fucking reduce what I am talking about here that is infinitely

broader than Graham Plattner to

simply Graham Plattner

Once again, I will stand by

My initial assessment that I am a Janet militia Mills advocate, okay much like

many of you

Much like many of you. I am already an advocate for Janet Mills. I'm in the

tank for Janet Mills. Okay, Janet Mills is my goat

She will be 79 by the time she actually gets into office if she even defeats

Susan Collins at all

But even if she doesn't defeat Susan Collins both Janet Mills and Susan Collins

are not only women and

therefore better than Graham Plattner, but they also don't have any Nazi

tattoos and therefore also better than Graham Plattner

They neither neither of them have served in the American military also better

and more moral than Graham Plattner and on top of that

On top of that. They never they never went and work for black water again

better than Graham Plattner

Now, of course they love Israel and they're pro-Israel, but but they're just

pro-Israel

In in in name only right

Yeah, which is why I'm a fucking girl boss who is hashtag writing with Janet

Janet Mills Janet yeah all mills no frills

I'm a Janet head. I'm a Janet head

What more do you want from me?

My bro hates you and he says is because you do not read left this literature

and more

So do not encourage your viewers to do so even says he likes Hasaldean more for

that reason alone

Which is insane in my opinion

I only say this because I think you were correct about

Learning leftist history through memes and this being a big problem

I agree that you could do more to encourage your viewers to learn more about

this than memes

Yeah, okay. Well, this shit is fucking boring for the most part

This is the most entertaining version of uh allowing this conversation to take

place

Okay

Within the confines of a fucking debate

So it's just not you know

Yeah, 3000 people left while I was doing this okay

Bergus Everett says grandplatner's life of posting in his tattoos are stress

testing the parties interesting younger fresher candidates

How do you expect the win-back man when you go back through somebody's read a

history and just pull it all out and say?

Oh my god, this person has no right to ever be in politics. He told Dave Weigel

Do I like any of it? Of course not do I like what he's campaigning on and the

way he's connecting the working class voters

That's the piece that's been missing from our party said senator Heinrich of

his post

He's still backing platinum, but says future candidates should stay off Reddit

I mean, I I do agree with this. I can't believe I'm saying this but yes future

candidates should stay off Reddit

Anyway, we are now moving on from this uh utterly unproductive conversation

But even though actually I don't think it's unproductive

I hope people actually took away some lessons about at least
