[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here's the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it's done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

It's kinda funny, how the right-wingers consistently manage to infiltrate parties and turn them into a vehicle for their own agenda, while the left-wingers are either busy fighting each other, or fighting whatever they perceive as "centrist". Funny in a sad way.

    Have you ever known a time where it was different? And what should the left do, water down their agenda until they become centrists? If you have ideas lets hear em.

    I'm not talking about becoming centrists, i'm talking about building coalitions. There are core issues many people can agree upon, and treat each other under the motto "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Details can be discussed later, when the threat is less urgent. History has a few examples on what happens, when the left treats other democrats as the enemy. The most infamous one should be the German KPD. They declared the SPD and social democracy as the main enemy. I don't think i need to point out how that ended. The thing about democracy is, that you will never get everyone to agree 100% with each other. But you can agree with enough topics to prevent a dictatorship.
