    bernie at this point, i like to think he would be far more proud to be put up against a wall by us than for anyone to still be talking about “nordic socialism”

    I know everyone on the grad and hexbear know this, but for any libs coming across this who are still talking about “democratic socialism” or whatever you think Bernie was promoting:

    He did the best he could for the dialectic and for socialism in the West by losing. By losing while proposing the bare minimun concessions from capital. By letting people like me, and I’m sure many of you, warch him lose, watch him be demonized, watch him be railroaded, and cheated. And letting us know thats its not him they did it to, it was us. That was a mirror for exactly what the entire appuratus that props up this system thinks of us and what we deserve. It was a demonstration that there is no shortcut, no way to vote our way out of this. A true demonstration of what liberal democracy is, who it is for, and who its not for.

    If anyone didn’t learn the lesson by 2020, I’m not sure what it would take.

    Nothing wrong for having some affection still for the demsucc, Rosa killing grandad, or recognizing the good he did in radacalizing people. But if you haven’t moved past Bernie you weren’t paying attention.

  • Lmao, I find it so funny that they were literally going “gee! We don’t want the workers controlling anything!! We just want slightly nicer capitalism!!!”

    Like, they were actually proud of themselves for admitting that 💀
