Hasan Piker's Excuses for DSA's Opportunism + Is Zohran Mamdani Good for the US Socialist Movement? ( socialismforall.substack.com )

Marxist-Leninist commentary for the US left against pro-Democratic Party opportunism masquerading as socialism. 1h20m of criticizing Hasan from a communist perspective. I definitely lost some brain cells listening to this one. #socdemgang ...

December 22, 2025 Who is welcome in our movements? devils, judgment, and the shit that works Evangelical Republicans made deals with the devil all the way to their holy grail: Overturning Roe v. Wade. It's a journey that began decades ago, and involved broad, successful coalitions across groups who hated each other. There's a lot to learn from their example—and we could spend years unpacking all the facets of this horrifying history. Today, I want to focus on who we choose to work with, and why. Many of us have hard lines attached to our values. We might not want comrades who support genocide, who refuse to mask up, or who vote with the Democratic establishment. In a way, these hard lines help us feel that we are acting in integrity, and feel safe from the slippery slope into sloppy liberal bullshit. But we also want our movements to work—and that often requires broad appeal.

Curious. Introvert. I always try to be compassionate. I live in a small town in the state of Rio; grew up in one here too.

Now, in no particular order, I'm gonna drop lots of hashtags somehow related to me, 'cause it feels less intimidating:

Europe is scaling up.

Over the past year, we have been working to further complete our Union👇

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

@carnage4life

the take home lesson is we take over the party

take out the spineless trash

3rd party doesn't work in an voting system, it simply divides the vote and wins easier

not voting is merely acceptance and capitulation, you might as well vote MAGA

you should feel disgust, but you can't use that feeling to resign

instead be angry, and take over

: is the future. let's get 50 more mamdanis across the country

So the Corbyn/Sultana new Left party has hit a bump in the road, with its two principals having a pop at each in public... however, whether the 700,000 would be politically homeless if the nascent party stumbles feels like its a statement written before the election of Zac Polanski as Green Party leader... my guess is we'll see a concerted effort by Polanski to offer solace to the 'your party' supporters & a new (political) home...

@ChrisMayLA6 This is the problem with what passes for the political nowadays - zero coordination and perpetual petty bickering. They are handing the nation to the on a silver platter. Not good.
