What pisses me off about a good portion of the #left is that they will say things like "Neither party represents the #workingclass, they only will differ in bullshit #culturewar talking points."
For one, that is only partially true. Only one party wants to cut/defund/privatize #socialsecurity, #disability and other #welfare programs.
Secondly, that implies bullshit culture war things don't matter which is a fundamentally privileged take. You may not be affected by them, but a whole lot of people are. Banning #trans healthcare, #abortion, #contraceptives, etc
Those last 2 things are only threatened because conservatives know how to play the long game with things like the #supremecourt
Anyone who considers themselves remotely left wing or progressive really needs to get it together.
Exactly why Labour haven't been an effective force for the past decade.

It’s true that culture war topics have meaning and there are legitimate moves toward a better future
However, it seems that any time a topic hits the political limelight the majority of discourse has no actual substance, in that it is easily repeatable rhetoric
I believe the ‘neither cares about the working class’ take comes from the fact that it’s almost impossible to become a high ranking politician as a good person, so most politicians don’t actually care
The best we can expect from politics in the imperial core is some harm reduction. That's just a simple fact. That's why the focus of liberation cannot entirely rely on politics. It's always been this way.
Yeah, I agree. I start from the premise that our capital is stolen by the ruling class and the empire. Any of that value that comes back to the people is just and good.
