    Parliaments in capitalist states are nothing but theater to distract the masses. None of these politicians would act against the system which makes them rich.

    It is almost like the only time AOC used “bourgeois” was to attack socialists for reading (“Reading is a bit bourgeois don’t you think”)

    Almost as if anti-war activists found meeting AOC more difficult and less closed out than seeing a republican

    And then had a photo op with the Bolivian far right fascists that orchestrated the fascist coup in 2019

    Social-fascists will insist she’s progressive though

    I want to type something but I don’t know what to write, it’s essentially a real clown show. The consistency here is non-existent; and it’s explicitly done because it’s quite literally the: it’s okay when we do it but not okay when they do it. At least be consistent in your politics is all I personally ask of politicians and those that are are either labelled “fascists” or “divisive”. I think the political establishment is quite comfortable these days because now they’re not even trying be “consistent” in public and bastards behind closed doors, now they just expose themselves in the open and move on and expect people to forget their past statements.
