Settlers was written in the 70s when this labour aristocracy was probably true and scientifically correct

It was written in a quite bleak period of history

Todays US though has hungry people lining up at foodbanks, hook worm (a disease of extreme poverty and had thought to be eradicated from usa) is flourishing in places like Alabama

If you went to these White working class neighbourhoods in the 70s you would have seen an industrial proletariat mostly bought off by the crumbs of imperialism

That isnt true anymore. They have no jobs and are high on opiods

The only way to sustain such bullshit views is to actively not read theory, history or the movements of classes through history so I guess thats why he would exclaim that

So i googled the first on your list as i had a bet with myself hes plugging a patreon like so many other ‘left’ grifters

Oh what a surprise

I read a tweet a while back that went “tankies have no power: all the best youtubers are varying shades of anarchists”

Which just about summed up their entire petit-bourgeois, individualistic and faux revolutionary world view

If youre not in a communist party then you have no political power anyway and no amount of youtube celebrity (only a slight step up from Youtube comments) is going to change that

Im sure there is a definitive question of who is right and wrong in this ‘struggle’ to which i reply they are both worse

A key component of social fascism

Firstly harm mitigation is vomit

Secondly a case can be made that were you to degrade yourself to “harm mitigation” a case can be made that Trump is the ‘lesser’ evil than the “prostitute of big donors”

Trump has

• hastened the decline of US empire

• Trump has not started a major war - a point made by Bolton who threw his toys out of the pram after years of thinking he could politic the Trump cabinet into a new major war in Venezuela and Iran. Bolton, the neofascist war hawk, who is now championed by democrats as a “resister” to Trump

• Obama took Bush’s 3 wars to 7 (Biden is currently taking credit for the Obama administration)

• Concentration camps on Mexico border started under Obama (again Biden is taking credit for the Obama admin)

• under obama\Biden they prosecuted more whistle blowers than all previous presidents combined. You are insane if you think they won’t up the ante on secret police. This is something all neoliberal governments have been doing and is not unique to Trump

• Trump has legitimised DPRK on the world stage by meeting with Kim Jong Un

• Have basically made regime change impossible in Venezuela through sheer incompetence with the bay of piglets

• All countries deemed “enemies” want another Trump term as he’s destroying US imperialism. I don’t see how a principled socialist can align their foreign policy with US and not China (one has 800+ military bases worldwide the other has 3)

You’re job as a socialist is to bring down US empire. You live on the death star. How ridiculous would it be to “improve the wages” of the storm troopers on the death star for instance?

If you wish to prostitute your morals by voting Biden don’t let me stop you. Specially after the Dems ratfucked Bernie (again).

But that’s basically the core of social fascism - hoping for those sweet succdem gains paid for on the backs of dead bodies piled up from imperialism or the capitalist gulags providing your food\fruit\chocolate\minerals for high technology\prawns etc. whilst voting for a neocon who will probably start another 3 major wars, restrict your civil rights and liberties even further
