This is delusional. Direct action absolutely has its place, but all the things you mentioned were ultimately won at the ballot box. As it should be. Don’t let a childish revolution fetish blind you to what constitutes a viable framework for lasting progress.
Edit - “Has.” As in he has a ball. Or she has a textbook.
Not an ML. And certainly don’t think I’m the only leftist. Lots of different types of leftists, many I disagree with. But unless you’re opposed to capitalism, then you’re a liberal, not a leftist.

It’s funny how libs think they can tell me when direct action is necessary, and it’s always in the past tense, never in the present.

Yup, like I said, lots of leftists I disagree with. That includes ML’s. What’s your point exactly?
My point is that I got you confused for a different poster. Please accept my deepest apologies.
All good
Liberals aren’t leftists, but there’s a whole world of political thought to the left of liberals.
I am a ML and everything I have seen of Jenkem’s posting here makes me think they are probably a leftist.
We probably don’t agree on everything, but they’re no liberal.
Hey now. Anarchists and Maoists and a bunch of others are leftists too.
Liberals are not.
Can you define direct action for me? What do you think it is?
