    I’m in DSA. As a communist in a group with a lot of social democratic progressives, we have to learn to work together!

      Damn… DSA is a big thing. Respect to you for getting your hands dirty with politics. I wish more realised that you don’t win over opponents by trying to be ideologically pure but by trying to accommodate multiple ideologies and finding common ground.

        Intellectual differences stand out, and political discourse is just terrible as a rule. Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment as I work very hard to draw these ideas together. I’m just a regular worker, but political marxism provides opportunities for functioning on a very high level intellectually, and collaborate with very smart people, because we are committed to the work of it. That’s all power is really, just peoples labor captured in various forms, and having the ability to use them to achieve our best interests. And the best interest of the working class is solidarity.

        And that’s why I try not to be idealist about these differences, its the work that matters most!
