hopefully cold take but if ur chirping about how socialist electoral strategy failed since bernie didn’t win + now we can move on to ~real revolution~ you’re thinking like a liberal. real marxists know the campaign wasnt an end in itself but means to build class consciousness
which, by all accounts, was resoundingly successful! bernie showed millions of working class ppl a better world is possible, and now as socialists our task is to get there. using this movement to organize labor struggles and for political demands is how ~real revolution~ happens
it’s also very funny to see certain ultra tendencies pretend to be vindicated by this. even without winning, Bernie’s campaign and DSA have politicized millions more people in 5 years than grad student reading groups and edgelord leftbookers have in uhhhhh decades
