I know we’re all feeling doom and gloom but can we get a thread of some wins/good news from last night?

    Liberals are ripe for radicalization and joining Leftists. Not all, of course, some are shifting rightward, but many are disillusioned and shifting left.

    For anyone reading, I can give a basic intro to Marxism reading list if you want. For starters, I recommend Blackshirts and Reds. To know fascism, who it serves, how it rises, and how to stop it is immensely useful.

      Just want to say: Thanks for your perennial civility as well as continuing to offer learning resources for people interested in any “sect” of leftist ideology.

        Appreciate the kind words! It’s a tender time, liberals are both more open and more closed to radicalization, depending on how they are interacted with. Lenin has a fantastic quote:

        Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.

        In shining light on the causes of evil, illustrating ways out of these darker times, and in teaching how to properly struggle against evil, we can radicalize numerous liberals and strengthen solidarity.

      Unfortunately, I think liberals are going to continue taking the easy route, which is not really having much of a platform other than “we’re not Trump supporters”
