The reason why the Democrats lost in 2016. In one short video clip

What is beneficial to the world is not actually a SocDem US president: but actually an anti-imperialist US president. The later would allow a flourishing for socialist movements (both reformist and revolutionary) across the world. The problem is that currently we have several socdem hopefuls for running the US, but none of them (I include Bernie the fuck) are anti-imperialist. The only one I can think of is Tulsi Gabbard (and even then, a lot of her anti-imperialism is vulgar in perhaps the purest sense), but as a Brit a US presidency that wouldn't try to sabotage a Socialist Labour government is all we need, even for 5-6 years: just to build things up.

Literally the only time this has ever been even somewhat true is with "Arab socialist" states (which are functionally just Social Democracies with Arabian characteristics) and even then they ultimately either are destroyed by the bigger imperialist countries, begin to capitulate to and trade with them thus further enabling their imperialism, or are dependent upon smaller but still actively imperalist capitalist nations such as Russia to continue to exist

I have.
Its called the critique of the gotha program.
I also know about class conciousness and how a soc dem president would raise it.

What makes you say bernie wouldnt have been anti imperialist?

FDR literally said back in the Great Depression to his brother on the phone that they had to give the working class a bigger slice of the pie or else there would be a revolution. FDR openly bragged that he saved capitalism.

Roosevelt was a literal porky. It's odd how there are no liberal porkies now looking to run for office who have the foresight that he did. I have seen liberals (not just conservatives) have the audacity to say that capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than anytime in history and that things are great for our generation (millennials). And that if you are poor then you're just a loser. Any millennial can make it, just don't be lazy, don't be low Autism Level. If you are lazy or low Autism Level, you deserve to be poor, etc. They believe in meritocracy, not economic justice. Whereas FDR believed that some degree of economic justice was necessary to avoid social unrest.

It's because their kind of drug is class hatred of the poor.

It's not so hard to figure out: for your usual prole, "false consciousness" usually takes the form of sexism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, for your better off prole and petit-bourgeois its moralism, classism, ethical consumption and so on.

I don't think there are any winners in the liberal/conservative culture war
Just hope some of them abandon the bullshit in favor of socialist analysis and stop wasting ýour neurons on it, it's a joke

I would critically support Tusli against AOC woke imperialism. Because that is what is in the offering, sadly: more drone strikes, but with latinix trans people who got M4A to cover their transition pushing to button, to put it crudely.

That was my point indeed.

Worth reading but fundamentally irrelevant to combat modern capitalism or even to the Leftist movement only a few decades after it was written.

His stance towards NK (advocating breaking off talks), which tbh even a lot of people in this country are fine with a Korean peace process, not even just anti-imperialist. The fact Bernie is pulling the Neocon line of "MUH DICTATORSHIP NO PEACE TALKS" shows he is too easily pushed around by the state.

The 1970s SocDems were pretty damn anti-imperialist (Wilson, Whitlam, Palme [all of whom lost their offices in odd circumstances]), a figure like one of them in America would effectively ensure the return of the Latin American left, the final freeing of Europe from American domination (which would itself usher in Multipolarity), and would see a withdrawal from the ME & Afghanistan. They may not last long, but they would do enough to end US hegemony and that's all we need.

AOC isn't that bad in that sense, her problem is that like Bernie she is too easily cucked by the establishment. Her u-turn on Israeli policy is the best example of this.
