12. The problem is that while it may be too late for the "long march"

It is most ASSUREDLY too late to keep trying shit that we KNOW isn't working. How do you get a revolution in the USA, much less the rest of the West which still has more robust social systems? Especially if you can't get the groups that would presumably benefit? I hate to take it back to the primary but Bernie LOST with the oppressed people. That is fact. Bernie lost MASSIVELY with demographic groups that prefer socialism to capitalism. What the fuck does that tell you? It tells me we need to try something different if we want to build a movement for change in a socialist direction.

But keep calling me a neoliberal while not building the kind of organizations that can actually make change. Calling everyone who disagrees with your strategy isn't going to take a single PPM of carbon out of the atmosphere.

All this "revolution NOW" shit probably isn't controlled oppo...but it might as well be. Don't ask me, ask Mark Rudd of the Weather Underground.

“The FBI should have put us on the payroll,” [Rudd] said.
