daggermoon comments on Zohran Mamdani calls the president of Cuba and Venezuela “dictators who have stifled free and fair elections, jaled political opponents, and suppressed the free and fair press”

I am anti-capitalist. I consider myself a marxist actually. Yet i'm being called a liberal democrat dick sucker. I don't know why I even bother trying. The gate-keeping is unreal. How the fuck are we supposed to grow as a movement when we shut people out? The right doesn't have this problem. They're willing to work together to achieve their fucked up goals. Why is this so hard for us?

I feel like we're all on edge after so many self proclaimed leftists dropped everything to defend Platner, and now that Trump is killing random ass civilians in the Caribbean and threatening to invade. I know that doesn't mean people defending Mamdani on this quote are okay with imperialism by default, etc etc etc. Assuming you're not okay with imperialism and random civilians being targeted by the US military we're on the same side, I think.

Agreed. We're allies.
