    I’m getting damn tired of this style of liberal comment in an anarchist community.

    We get a rare drop, where circumstances suddenly allow a leftist position to become the mainstream position.

    No you haven’t. You’ve got people who are upset their wallets are hit, that is not a leftist position in the mainstream. Two people can reach the same conclusion for wildly different reasons.

      This is why the left is doomed. You cant see the opportunity to bring more into the fold, you only see purity test fails and a chance ro grand stand

        The left isn’t doomed thanks, we’re doing just fine.

        Liberals and centrists are however doomed as people are moving to either extreme and abandoning a failed system that has only delivered abysmal results.

        Go cry about purity tests some more, maybe that will convince a leftist to vote for murdering children if you do it a few more times.

        We’ll talk about material conditions until we’re blue in the face, and then when material conditions change it becomes “well people are only receptive to this because it’s hitting their wallets!”

        No shit! That’s the whole leftist argument! Material conditions drive politics more than ideology!
