    Nobody listens to me, is that why people like Platner are using progressive “antiwar” policies to appeal to leftists? Or is that socialism and reading books is stupid? lol, Graham’s most popular and most progressive policies are based off 100+ years of Marxist economic theory buddy, as Neo liberalized as it is.

    Ever wonder where the “socialist” part of “Democratic Socialism” comes from?

      We’ll he did call himself a communist as early as 2021, long before he had any political ambitions. Which leads me to the conclusion that his beliefs are sincere.

      And if the Epstein class is going to piss away all the money that they are putting towards trying to stop him, it leads me to believe that they believe he is sincere as well.

        Yeah and Obama said he’d end the war. Liberals will believe anything. Also, if be willing to bet you would call real communism, meaning places like USSR, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Venezuela, Burkina Faso, China and Cuba are bad because authoritarianism right? And we have to lend power to fascist neolibs with Nazi insignia tattoos because real leftism would challenge the billionaire class and the military industrial complex as a whole, and Capitalist politicians are beholden to the same companies and donors that the Epstein class is? Mind you, democrats, republicans AND Apolitical powerful people were involved with Epstein and pedophilia. Yes, democrats other than bill clinton.

          All you are doing is trying to enforce credendialism. He is telling people to organize and unionize in their communities, speaking on class warfare openly in the US, which is crazy to think id live to see the day that happened, seeks to end the wars of choice the US has engaged in, end the genocide being conducted by the israelis, etc.

          Authoritarianism IS bad. Saying otherwise just proves you are not actually for working class liberation, but just want to be the ones to replace the Epstein class.

          Your attempts to pin the current failings of the system on him are meaningless, he has not ever been close to power. That’s the whole point of class solidarity, bud, trying to nitpick about his “working class creds” is just doing the Epstein class’s work for them.
