True stuffing the peoples faces is one of the best ways to stop a revolution.
So you simultaneously see this as deflating revolutionary spirit and also don’t care about revolutionary spirit because you see the American working class as a lost cause? This is just edgelord bs.
I don't see it as a revolutionary act I see it as a counter revolutionary measure designed to placate the radicalism that was slowly built up. I've said this before Zohran represents the death of radicalism.
You ain't wrong. He threw his wife under the bus.
FUCK this noise.
The "middle" class in the US, the folks still buying houses and cars, DoorDashing from Whole Foods and shit - allllll the folks "propping up the economy" by floating on generational money from "the good old days" - that's who needs to suffer and become radicalized, if anything is to change.
The fucking poor here have done their bit, they have nothing left to offer and will continue to be mercilessly preyed upon by so many doing so much better. Let them eat some cheap food. Fuck your idea of "revolution", you sound fucking gross.
Gross AND sociopathic
Also one of the best ways to stop people from starving.
What if all the multi millionaires and billionaires on the american left started paying to feed people, they all have more than enough money to do that. Oh no wait they're still capitalists who care more about themselves than any ideological project.
You know what? Good point! We shouldn't even bother trying to make groceries more affordable until we can do this!
Not sure why you're saying that like anyone here would disagree with you. That's not some profound realization. That's something that every other person in this thread already knows.
Because I got like five responses when I said who cares all trying to justify why I should care about the plight of the Americans. If you all already know this why try justify to me that helping and caring about Americans is a good thing actually, they would literally put most of us in camps if they thought they would get some minor social democratic reform out of it.
I'm pretty sure I just had a stroke while attempting to parse this dumbass comment.
Who the fuck is putting people in camps for minor social democratic reforms? What world do you live in?
I'm sad you recovered so quickly.
Cool, still didn't answer my question.
This sounds accelerationist. We can’t organize the working class into revolution by being indifferent to their needs. It’s no way to build trust.
I really don't care what happens to the american working class or left sorry.
Sorry for assuming you are in the imperial core.
What would you suggest the extremely few anti-imperialist socialists in the core do?
Worth noting, approximately 18% of American adults earn more than $100,000 a year.
They call it the K-shaped economy. There's an upper portion of the working class whose lives only get better (high wages, private property, investments) and a lower portion whose lives only get worse. It's hard to believe that someone who is going to work a low wage job until they die so they can give most of their paycheck to a landlord is bourgeoisified by imperial superprofits.
I know what a k shaped economy is. The American left is completely hijacked by Zionists. Ever heard the saying that if there is a Nazi in the bar you're drinking at, you're in a Nazi bar. Same goes for Zionists if there are Zionists in the movement you're a part of you're in a Zionist party.
What left? The Democrats? lol
The US working class, on the other hand? I don't have a breakdown by income, but 60% of U.S. adults have an unfavorable view of Israel these days. I suspect if you mapped that onto the 80/20 split in incomes you'd see a strong correlation.
The US working class is being debourgeoisified by the war, incomes will be eaten by inflation and people will blame Israel for it. That's not exactly correct, the US and Israel are part of the same Zionist entity, but blaming Israel is a good first step.
Times are changing.
I wasn't around for it, but it seems very similar to how public sentiment changed in the Vietnam debacle.
BAD take, omg
No sorry I have 0 solidarity with the American left, the best thing to happen for the left in the rest of the world would be the United States falling into a civil war.
i mean me too, but this helps nothing
Nothing says progressive like making sweeping generalizations about a massive number of people, and wanting them all to die over some perceived slight. People who ostensibly agree with you about 98% of the time.
Go away, that shit is toxic.
The number of people who died from malnutrition in the USA is 1400 people, if you can find another number let me know. Starvation isn't some major cause of death most in the United States give me a fucking break. My slights aren't perceived they're very real I literally can't even travel to that country and have their security services watching me. Sorry that I don't love the psychotic empire and its citizens.
What do you think happens in civil wars exactly?
Not everything is about you.
This is a reform won by the masses, people seeing they can do things like this will actually promote socialist revolution in the long run. Especially if and when the capitalists start moving aggressively against these stores, and if and when the Democratic Party starts trying to reel in Mamdani (and prevent him from saving their party with social democracy and prolonging American class peace). We win in a negative way when such things are teased out; and in the meantime, we enjoy some (maybe, big maybe) cheap food.
