Just thinking about what quick, digestible document I could throw at libs who are panicking and desperate for something to hold on to and i can’t really think of something that’s written for treat demons but still actually communist.

Any thoughts?

    US Democracy is officially dead now (according to Blue MAGA rhetoric), so maybe they are receptive to revolutionary agitprop again. BLM uprising occurred during Trump’s first term, so just need an issue to unite people under to mobilize again.

    Blue MAGA has been running into the arms of right-centrism for a while, so it will be interesting to see where the new faultlines emerge. Effective leftist rhetoric needs to draw a clear line between Democratic Party and real leftist organizing separate from Dem machine. As long as libs keep thinking Dems are the only viable org in US politics, real leftist orgs will continue to be considered ineffective in the lib brain.

    The rhetorical trick is to convince libs that Dems have failed by their own framing, and that means to try something else. Libs that can’t accept this were never going to be leftists anyway.
