The gladio scandals were in the early nineties.

The fact that we haven’t been able to mobilize more than a handful of people since then despite the increasing pressures of late stage capitalism is squarely on us.

But sure, keep sitting on your ass waiting for daddy Lenin to ride in on a T-34 to save your ass instead of doing something about it.

Edit: I see your edit. That merits a more substantial response, which I’m not able to give right now. But the meat is that the concessions stopped happening because they were never afraid of us. They were afraid of the Soviet Union. We need to make sure they are afraid of the combined power of the international working class. That takes work.

Which is a long way of saying, I agree more than I disagree.

There you go with your external locus of responsibility! Heaven forbid you fight for something.

I’m sorry but this talk really drives me up the wall.

Left populism has a lot to offer. I’m from a Western European country where the actual communist party, hammer and sickle and all, managed to get 30% of the vote in living memory. Capitalism hasn’t gotten any better since then, but no one on our side is putting up anything that even looks like a fight. In fact, it’s like we pride ourselves on losing, or worse, not even trying.

Fight, you fucking embarrassments. Fight!

Also losing elections. We’re good at that.

And they are going to comply because they are all former cops and boot lickers.

That’s over half a slander damages award right there!

Was there no sex ed in the curriculum before?
