I was back and forth on if I QRT this and add to The Ratio©, but I think I do because it's an important thing to talk about. @FoldableHuman/1322735307377160194Permalink On twitter.com

If you're a leftist because you can't wait for the day where you get to personally round up every cop and manager and boss line them up against the wall and execute, that's unhealthy, unproductive, performative nonsense and you should stop.Permalink On twitter.com

I guess if that's what Dan means by "yearns for violence" I suppose I don't disagree. But without this clarification the statement is tone deaf and privileged.Permalink On twitter.com

There have been a growing number of populist/progressive movements that have called for reforms within imperialist capitalism, and they've all been met with a violent response by the state and right-wing militias.Permalink On twitter.com

There are literally a bunch of right-wing militias which exist only as a response to black lives matter. When QAnon, the state-backed Nazi conspiracy theory, talks about The Great Awakening, they want the state to mass arrest and kill leftists and activists.Permalink On twitter.com

Just over the summer: When leftists in Capital Hill, Seattle demanded an end to nightly teargas, police presence in their neighborhood, and lobbied for an economic system that provides food, healthcare, and housing for all, their project was dismantled by force.Permalink On twitter.com

Not only was their project dismantled by force, they were shot at and beaten by reactionaries. Every media outlet lied about what happened. The executive branch of the US mobilized to militarily occupy cities across the country, kidnapping people in unmarked vans.On twitter.com

If this was the response to 6 blocks, in one city, in one state, demanding some basic reforms to the status quo, what do you think will happen when the ENTIRE WORKING CLASS decides it's time to end capitalism and imperialism and the state at once?Permalink On twitter.com

"Leftists who yearn for violence are garbage" implies that if there is violence, it'll be because online tankies want to LARP 1917. But it's far more likely to occur because reactionaries are wiling to use violence on anyone who opposes them. That's why it's a bad takePermalink On twitter.com
