in reply to @hootOS's post:

makes me feel like im just aiding and abetting the status quo's continued existence rather than actually demanding change

That fucking dilemma. Is so, so stupid. It and the related perceived necessity to have a single unified political identity that is somehow supposed to encompass both ideals and actions. Are the root of all the stupid leftist infighting and division.

Me personally, I'm not a diehard anything. My political manifest is: in terms of organized government, support the largest popular/center-left party/coalition; outside of that, just support all the movement in the good direction, work on creation and maintenance of non-capitalist, non-commercial connections and structures; do not waste too much time on philosophical bullshit.

Also the US meaning of "liberal" is destroying y'all's goddamn brains.

the only advice we can offer is that we definitely would suggest working on killing the "ivory tower marxist" in your head that says that the only options are binary. there is no rule that says the only options are "immediate revolution now" or "incrementalism" because like...a big part about being a leftist means that you're probably not rich enough to drop all options that aren't arming & building up a revolution, and unfortunately, you do need to eat and drink and sleep somewhere safe & healthy in order to live. the sorts of people who profit off of treating it like a binary are, well, people who are either trying to sell you doom & gloom or people who are trying to turn "accomplishing political change" into something impossible due to the prerequisite purity of all involved.
