A four-slide comic featuring a kangaroo and a man. The Kangaroo asks:
- I'm a communist, and what are you?
The man answers cautiously:
- I'm an anarchist.
The kangaroo responds:
- Cool, we can be friends until the revolution.
Then it continues:
- After that it gets difficult.

    I do agree with that, fascism is really easy to organize... Granted it always has a shelf life for the same underlying reasons

    But conservatism more broadly? It only feels that way because there's been a concentrated effort for a century to propagandize people. Liberals gave so much ground that cutting social programs and public private partnerships became the default position for both parties. There's so many lies that go uncontested... Some of the myths commonly believed about capitalism and government are insane, and that isn't an accident

    In the days of FDR it was really easy to organize for progressives... The momentum was there. People's lives were improving noticeably, they had hope for the future, and they had confidence in the leadership

    Political momentum is the key. The pendulum is shifting quickly left, so it's becoming easier to organize on the left than it's been for generations. It'll get even easier if the promises are delivered on, disenfranchised voters will need less and less convincing to mobilize
