even the student movement that kicked off the cultural revolution, you at least need high schoolers skirmishing with each other and occupying parts of the capital

maoism just is not a thing without mass peasant-majority politics, which is impossible in the US. if there is anything potentially maoist in the US it would have to arise from very regional undocumented ag workers, not white farmers/land owners

in 1960 >80% of the population in china was rural. the last decade in the US the rural pop was >80% was in the 1860s.

It's great people are debating this and it's sorely needed, because deep and serious thinking and conversation is a part of making real and engaged commitments, which we need. I have something to do everyday to engage the problems I see and believe everyone else can find something too.

Dems failed to fix this contradiction, putting themselves in serious jeopardy. I lived last decade in a swing state that turned red, voted, saw this over and over. I'm now in a firmly blue state where my presidential vote is insignificant. Wish it'd gone the other way, but this is what rly happens.

Harris still would have lost if she had won Dearborn, the only place where the vote in response to Palestine actually directly mattered. But the suppression of campus protests, and general left and progressive activism by extension, stamped out the organization they needed to mobilize votes overall.

Feel free to ask if you need to guess, I'm happy to have an honest conversation about it. Aimé Césaire is saying that fascism is colonialism turning inwards. The bombings in Gaza intensified authoritarianism in the US. It squeezed out the amount of civil life needed to prevent Trump.

have you seen the suppression of free speech since the campus occupations? after letting that happen, now the dems want people to speak up?

they faced severe campus and police repression. rather than stopping a genocide, dems stamped them out of political life. but how are dems after enabling genocide for 16 months going to claim they can credibly stop anything that's happening or coming? the kids have always done more & will do more

enabling genocide has consequences, sorry you have to experience that

what are you doing if you haven't been trying to stop it for the past 16 months? after 20000 dead kids? you don't care about anything real at all. if harris believed in anything she would've tried to earn every vote instead of threaten further catastrophe on people who wanted her to stop a genocide

how can people like the dems say they believe in democracy when they go about campaigning by threatening constituencies with pain and catastrophe instead of trying to earn every single vote? you don't believe in anything real or care at all
