@rasterweb@mastodon.social There's always more power in being for something than only being against something. Having a specific agenda created from populist policy is the antidote to the malaise of slow-rolling capitulation that liberals have put us in.

@rasterweb@mastodon.social as long as we still #vote if we give up on voting and commit to revolutionary change, the strategists in the revolutionary cells will tell us to vote: vandalism/ sabotage even in #revolution we're going to be dealing with compromise, a choice between imperfect revolutionary leaders the "lesser evil" problem never goes away there is no such thing as #purity, hewing to that is for immature losers real #leftism is effective action not inert, useless, entitled, whiny #toxicIdealism

@rasterweb@mastodon.social I love this take. But my take is that one advocates incremental or defensive change, and is inspired by the other: the other is we want everything right now, inspired by what everyone really wants. Both perspectives are necessary to survive, especially when things don't turn out as planned. Dual-wielding seems necessary.
