A wolf with Celtic knots is Nazi? This is a good example of leftist purity tests and division aiding the ratchet effect and helping AIPAC block the candidates they don’t like. While ensuring we move deeper into fascism and fanatical fundamentalist rule

I hate how much hate Chris has been getting. Guy's done orders of magnitude more for the world than every one of his critics.

Looks aren't everything but you can actually see kindness in his eyes, Graham Platner looks like a piece of shit and no one will convince me otherwise

So jacobin is some media outlet, aoc is socDem that blunts class consciousness of workers. Guy in bottom left is union leader. Who is the first one?

The Rise and Fall of Chris Smalls

Chris Smalls shot to prominence for playing a key role in the shock union win at a New York Amazon warehouse. He was charismatic and energetic at a time labor needed both. But in the years since, his own ego has overwhelmed his political contributions.

Keep in mind while reading that the "Fall of Chris Small" is because he criticise aoc in a tweet

I criticize AOC all the time and catch hella downvotes for it. There a real cult of uncritical cheer leading among the leftish

Maybe I'm just blissfully unaware of the full discourse that Jacobin article caused but it seemed extremely mild when I read it. It basically was chastised him for not following the discipline of the labor union he helped form. Couldn't say I disagreed with the article but I also don't think it needed to be written at all.

They criticized him for showing international solidarity instead of being a national socialist.

It's written by a Zionist who for forward.com in her past.

His feed on X has increasingly become left-sectarian and self-promoting, lashing out at left-wing politicians when they fail to give him the attention he desires. Politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who helped boost Smalls’s platform from the beginning and have been great allies of the ALU, have been frequent victims of his wrath
