        How does social democracy affirm capitalism over socialism? By maintaining private ownership of the means of production without transitioning to a dictatorship of the proletariat. How is Bernie a social democrat? By holding to reform over revolution, and siding with the US over overthrowing it.

              My point is the “revolution” you are gesturing to isn’t there.

              The working class right now doesn’t work together, Bernie and people like him are trying to get them together, but you needlessly nitpicking doesn’t do one fucking iota to a revolution.

              Anyway left is better, and no that doesn’t include neo libs and their obvious attraction to the right.

                In order to actually organize, it’s important to align in an actual working class political party. Bernie is working within the Democrats and not supporting actual movement away from them. I am not “needlessly nitpicking,” revolutionary strategy requires building up a revolutionary org like PSL.

                    A lot! They’ve been spearheading a lot of the anti-war and anti-ICE protests, help run community drives and organize tenant and worker unions, and have been growing a revolutionary organization with trained cadres. This is exactly what a revolutionary org needs to do, organize the working classes.
