      Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

      The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program.

        He is the obviously the anointed favourite by the Dem establishment, but this shit just seems like it wouldn’t appeal to the general public. But I don’t know if that is “they go low, we go high” brainworms. They already have the blue no matter who crowd locked down, who is this meant to appeal to outside of the demo?

          It’s tough man. We are continuously in a bind with all this. And I guess it’s by design.

          I wouldn’t call myself “blue no matter who,” and I won’t be voting for Newsom in the primary certainly, but knowing that he’ll win the primary (by hook or by crook), that gives us a conundrum. I am in the “anybody but Trump and MAGA” camp, and I do regard Newsom as the far lesser evil here.

          I mean, look, Kamala wasn’t a great candidate, but things would be objectively better right now (not great probably, but definitely better) if she’d have won the election. I’d much rather be complaining about her at the moment.

          On the other hand, it’s also true that Democrats will only stop moving to the right once they stop winning elections, and we continually supporting bad candidates in order to prevent the worse ones from popping up doesn’t help pull them to the left.

          Honestly I don’t know what else to do, rather than pulling the lever for President Newsom, if we even still have elections by then.

            You have over 3 years to join a local socialist or communist party or a mutual aid group and to directly help your local community.

            The hopelessness you feel is intentional propaganda by the united states to crush the idea that other forces for change exist. Quit focusing on elections. You can affect change right now if you do your part.

    Admittedly there is something hilariously ironic about conservatives shitting on the Chinese political economy and then being all “the government needs to invest in the private sector.” But this is just pure-ass cringe; libs keep thinking that doing “I know you are but what am I” for insults that were hurled at them decades ago is gonna look fresh to voters.

    To me this just proves that the SOE model from China is the next phase of capitalism. Each successive capitalist mode of production in history has ascended by innovating off the previous model, usually by internalizing some major cost. US finance capital has been grasping for the last remnants of profit for decades through the neoliberal model, now we’ll see if more industries adopt some level of state stakeholding.
