    I never like dealing with these guys. If the whole “The dumbest outcome is the most likely outcome” thing is true, they’ll inevitably end up parasitizing any serious socialist project that emerges in the 'states.

    Hey, what if we did socialism, but kept everything that made american culture fucking insufferable and all the attendant problems

      Don’t worry, there’s no possibility of this. This movement is run entirely by grifters and feds who have no interest the very difficult work of actually building organizations. While PYM and PSL put on the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit and brought in 3600 organizers on explicitly ML terms, the PatSocs put on a parallel event in Detroit that drew a whopping 60 people.

      Not to mention the fact that they can exclusively recruit gullible white boys while the multinational working class is going to real organizations.

        Yeah, in terms of realistic outcomes they’re just kind of a extension of the LaRouchites and unlikely to gain any serious ground by dint of fundamentally misreading how deep the american conservative’s anticommunist bent runs. You cannot get to them in any way if you’re calling yourself communists
