As much as theory nerds are insufferable, the leftists who have zero understanding of pragmatism, politics and theory are even worse. It's like I'm glad you've realised the vibes of capitalism are scuffed but it would be nice if you had a genuine understanding of what needs to be done to achieve change.

Supporting colonialism=Israel is pragmatism according to you. I would have loved to she what kind of "pragmatism" you would have supported if you lived in Nazi Germnay...

Politics is a dirty job, you have to pick your battles to survive. There’s a reason Bernie is still in the Senate and not living in obscurity anymore. You can advocate however you like, but there’s folks that can’t. Just like we don’t bat an eye at racists losing their jobs for popping off on social media, we need to understand that can happen to folks trying to advocate for Palestine. Some people won’t be able to do this, others will. That’s why it’s important to encourage people to help and advocate as they can. If we encourage people to support with everything they got, we will have a bunch of burnt out leftists. 

I see the movement as a marathon relay race. We might drop the baton while running, but someone else is running with us ready to pick it up again. 

Stay safe out there friend.

This is a good way of putting it. I think people criticize Bernie/AOC for not being perfect leftists, but incremental change is how you make change. 

Republicans have always been the way that they are, but they were more “moderate” for a bit until they were able to go full nut job MAGA.

The truth is, we have to undo decades of anti-socialist propaganda and that’s not an easy thing to do. A politician fully embracing a socialist agenda isn’t going to go anywhere at this point in time. We need to start with people like Bernie who has made some really great strides in bringing more people to understand the importance of progressive movements.

"for not beingf perfect leftists". According to you supporting colonialism is just not making someone perfect. What is this subreddit even...

Bernie Sanders and AOC are liberals the have zero to do with socialism...

"progressive movement" is according to you= supporting a genocidal settler colonial apartheid state...

Where’s your outrage for the US colonies? They have been around for decades and the US is still fucking them. I see no posts on your profile about it so you must support it, then.

I’m not really agreeing with him but he literally posted about it in this thread

They’re just making a blanket statement. It’s easy to say you’re against a “settler colonial state” and leave it at that with no mention at all about what the US is doing. It’s just repeating talking points.

They said “The reality is that Bernie and AOC are liberals who support their own genocidal state and Israel etc...” which is a pretty clear condemnation of the US. You can disagree if you like but they literally did talk about the US.
