Off the penjamin, I’m afraid. The point of people like Zohran should be to elucidate to the masses the limits of bourgeois democracy. People should be revitalized in their pursuit of real, revolutionary change, not reassured that they can somehow get what they need by voting in their own Zohrans. You won’t get them! And even if you did, by chance, you won’t fix your problems that way (Allende’s fate should confirm that)
Yeah anything from a politician that isn’t “you need to get up and organize your coworkers and neighbors if you want even ten percent of my platform” is opportunism at best

You, apparently:
This is rugged individualism.
I’m seriously confused. It’s possible your comment was ironic and I’m misreading it.
I think it’s an ironic restating of the position the previous person was presenting, but not necessarily contradictory
Yeah, this.
“Cloning the good/smart people” is the end stage of all great man theorists
He tried to pass off Sankara’s words out of context as demsucc word salad! I can’t take it anymore.
