    RAWM is not ideal, but with prominent communists involved in the coalition we can still gain some credit with some more normie anti-war people. It’s not the revolutionary movement Rainer claims, but we do need the opposition to the funding of Ukraine. I feel like libertarian can see some of the problems, but they don’t have the solution, and we can therefore sway them. I agree the American revolution should not be idealized and the next will not be led settlers, but it can be a useful talking point that we can actually achieve what the founding fathers falsely claimed. (Insert Stalin’s quote on freedom)

      I want to agree with you, but history shows us even old-guard right-libertarians(of which the Mises Caucus, the ‘new-guard’ libertarians ideologically descend from) will tokenize anyone who isn’t them until the moment they’re not useful anymore. What I fear is that Mises Caucus will go the full Long Knife when the attempts to convert come, rather than what we’re used to of the ‘old-guard’.

        Yeah but most peoplethat are libertarians are young,their political ideas not fully formed,they may see problems like “big government” etc but not getting that the government is just a tool of the dictatorship of capital, obviously j don’t think we could convert mises or his old guard to Marxism Leninism but there are some elements in RAWM that, in my modest opinion, can be converted over
