"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Never at any point do you make an argument, you simply suggest that there must be a compelling argument, thereby proving your point.
So you've got nothing.
The PSL is a socdem party with sickle and hammer aesthetics. I am being relatively mild in my criticisms. You're going to have an uphill battle if you are tripping up even here.
The west is so fucking hopeless. Like this ain't that hard, this is an ML space and the apologism is pathetic.
I am not even USAmerican but I have to know your fucking politics too because your country has made the rest of the world such a shithole that I have to process your people's fucking bile while you tell me it's good for me.
Let's see in a year's time (maybe not even that) where we are and then you can lecture the rest of the world on your (collective you) mistakes.
It's funny to say that I've got nothing. You aren't being "relatively mild" in your criticisms, you aren't presenting any criticisms at all! You are slinging around some slogans without ever bothering to explain your position, and then demanding others prove you wrong, somehow. You have demonstrated no understanding of either PSL's tactics and strategy or of the actual conditions of working class political struggle in the US. If, at any point, you presented anything resembling a coherent argument, then we would be having a different conversation, but you are just handwaving it away while refusing to elaborate at all, and acting superior because of it.
Ah good, so its not just me who is being hit with a smoke screen of vague accusations here.
Cool we'll see over the course of the next 12 months or so how it all progresses if not sooner.
Fucking western hubris.
