    First, booker is not blocking an appointment and Filibusters are only useful if they’re blocking legislation and he’s not doing that either; that’s why this stunt is only political theater.

    Secondly, Republicans use the quorum and budget ceiling rules when they’re a minority, but the Democrats won’t do the same thing, so they’ve clearly decided that decorum matters more that fascism.

    Finally, fascism has been in the pipeline for atleast 40 years and expecting a silver bullet is unrealistic; read the documentation that you demanded from me (assuming that you didn’t demand it in bad faith).










  • i wish that were true since that would mean the likes of malcom x, or fred hampton, or MLK jr could still be alive imparting needful wisdom upon the american popular consciousness; or that institutions like the school of the americas, the imf, or the icc would not need to exist; or that needless violent & bloody conflicts like the korean, vietnamese, both iraqi, afghani or ukranian wars would not need to happen; or that episodes like cia induced regime changes and the extra judicial arrests & suppression of the politically active students that’s happening now, wouldn’t need to be a thing.

    instead; as history has already proven; we’re going to end up with increasing levels of fascism thanks to propaganda induced ignorance coupled with the wilful ignorance on display here, that perpetuates doom scrolling and the despair that makes the people within your ranks checkout/disengage from the political process that enable political victories for likes of trump, or poilievre, or le pen, or weidel, or meloni, etc.


  • i don’t doubt your willingness, i doubt your ability and effectiveness; you can’t plan and fight something that your environment won’t let you see.

    the m/l methods i’m using to fight the ruling class have proven to be durable enough to outlast 2 centuries worth of varying incarnations of multiple ruling classes and benefits from the writings of “lessons learned” from people that have tried (and failed) various strategies in those last 2 centuries.

    ignoring these “lessons learned” and advocating for further rounds of try-and-fail strategies against opponents who HAVE taken to heart their own “lessons learned” is not going to make difference.

    if you want to fight the ruling class effectively, read m/l theory and apply it to your life.


  • we’re not on the same team because liberals are willfully ignorant of the propaganda that western media re-inforces, rendering them useless at stopping those oligarchic billionaires despite the overwhelming numbers that give them the power to do so and living, breathing examples like, mexico & sheinbuam, that prove how easy it is to get started.

    china is communist in name only like the west is democratic in name only and the systemic suppression of disenfranchised minorities in the west is so rampant with the current western hegemon that its wealth gap; education delta; & prison system is proportionately the largest in the world by far; you would be able see to for yourself if you could acknowledge the propaganda in western media that makes the basis for your platform so divorced from reality.

    fortunately for leftists, liberal acknowledgement of any propaganda not a requirement for those capitalist billionaires to disappear since the inherent contradictions in capitalism is guaranteed to end its own existence eventually anyways and its decay has already started, as evidenced by the ascendancies of all of the fascists leaderships and governments across the entire western world.
