If somebody is serious about advancing the class struggle at this moment in American history, they frame issues and orient their practice around two goals: fighting U.S. hegemony, and taking away the Democratic Party’s dominance over our organizing and discourse spaces. The latter goal is dependent on the former, and the same is true the other way around. We can’t take away the DNC’s ability to hold back the class struggle until we’ve sufficiently worked to combat imperialism’s narratives. Narratives which protect Democrat infiltrators within radical spaces by making it look acceptable for them to promote pro-imperialist ideas, while masquerading as revolutionaries. Therefore, we can’t adequately combat these ideas without exposing the hypocrisies of the “socialist” individuals and organizations which normalize them within our spaces.
Oh, sweetie… turn on the news.
