The ‘Sanders Democrat’ is paving the way for the radical left

Sunkara makes a point I've long agreed with here. Sandersism is a giant step in the right direction for the radical left regardless of how you feel about social democracy.

Case in point here; this is a sympathetic article in the Washington fukking post on the future of left movements. No way this happens even if someone like Warren had ran

Another disingenuous post by Napoleon or @ThreeLetterAgency

Hitchens is critiquing the petite bourgeoisie using socialist policies to cover their own ass but then completely disregard of over throwing global capitalistic exploitation

His second part sounds is prophetic but it would happen to any economic system in the world given the close geographic proximity.

My question for you socialists is this: If you like socialism so much, why don't you just move to an openly socialist country?

The us has entirely too much taxation and it's collapsing but you greedy fools still want more

Instead of bringing us all down why don't you just bounce, take your ass to cuba, and eat your potato rations outta the backseat of your 1950's hoopty and leave us the hell alone

If taxes are too high why don't you move to Somalia?

If taxes are too high why don't you move to Somalia?

So.. no answer?

The ultimate plan IS to move to africa and hopefully get dual citizenship. That's AFTER i'm making enough passive income in this country.

America is where the money is... for now

Black Revolutionaries in the US: Communist Interventions, vol. 2

From the preface:
This is the second installation of the Communist Interventions series, following up on the first volume which addresses European socialism and communism. The third volume, which incidentally has already been released, concerns revolutionary feminism. Further volumes on other subjects should follow, as well. We hope that these readers will provide the foundation for seminars and reading groups.

No person in the United States can deny that Black liberation remains a pressing issue today. The unrest in Baltimore, Ferguson, etc. underscores the persistent social ills in the USA that Blacks have been unable to escape. The task of attempting to address these grievances within a revolutionary tradition is also—however less well-known—not a new phenomenon. Radical groupings within the USA have grappled with how to emancipate American Blacks from their oppression even prior to the Russian Revolution, although the Bolsheviks’ attempt to export revolution around the globe unquestionably accelerated these efforts. It is this history which we present in the current volume, through primary sources.
