The Zenocratic party
"See, the democrats will never fully move right."
- Zeno of Elea, New York Times contributor
What am I to do instead?
This is akin to somebody living in 1930s Germany asking whether they should continue supporting the nazi party since they're the only game in town.
Ok so that doesn't answer my question
What am I supposed to do
Join an org like PSL.
What's your opinion on FRSO vs PSL?
I've got a friend who joined PSL, and it sounds like they are a principled party. I'm less familiar with FRSO, but my understanding is that they have a Maoist lean.
Gotcha. They seem to only have a Maoist lean though, they describe themselves as Marxist-Leninist, but adopt concepts like the Mass Line. Plus, they use Linux apparently, which is neat
Using Linux as the default is definitely very cool!
Yep! Still working my way through this reading list, and am org-shopping right now.
That's a solid list, and well organized too! Lenin and Mao complement each other really well I find.
Good to hear! I'm almost through Marxism and the National Question, so Mao's texts are next before Org theory. Anything else you recommend adding to my reading list? I plan on reading Fanon, Feinberg, Losurdo, and other authors.
I think this is pretty comprehensive. Das Kapital is a good read as well, but it's more theoretical in terms of analyzing capitalist mechanics. It's a bit of tough read as well in my opinion. I think the books on the list are more practical in terms of explaining how tangible action works.
Another book I found really interesting was The East is Still Red. It describes China's path from the revolution, and it has a lot of insights into how society and economy evolves after the revolution https://redletterspp.com/products/the-east-is-still-red
Thanks for the insight!

Have I traveled in time?
Am I dreaming?
Is yogthos cowbee and saying the same things again?
What is happening?
Watch a video on First Past the Post voting and demand your local and state representatives go on record their stance on electoral reform.
Those who oppose democracy must be ran against. Primary/general election whatever.
Probably to late to get electoral reform without a general strike at this stage, but we can start working on getting more people involved in the political process next election.
Towards being free to vote for who best represents us, safe in the knowledge that our vote will still be counted against those we dont want in office.
Democrats believe in democracy right? Let's find out together.
