Well put! Now the task remains: to organize an independent, working-class party to put revolutionary socialism back on the table again.

China the number one economy isn’t doing well huh? Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia and America is preventing them from trading it that’s why the system there is under immense stress since that’s what over 90% of their economy is based on.

Our economy sucks here I. The states and we’re the Mecca of capitalism look at the supply chain issues what a joke. Look in the mirror!!

For a "Fred Hampton Leftist," you ought not be so squeamish at the thought of revolutionary socialism! It is indeed the fulfilment of Hampton's legacy. We ought to wrestle with what all those countries' experiences mean, but the only way to do that would be under the dictatorship of the proletariat. We can't even begin to make sense of it this side of the revolution. It will be messy, but its messiness may mean something, and that makes it worth trying, at least for me!

I've been wanting to write an article putting together all the goods on Biden, but you did it for me and very succinct and easy to read to boot. Thanks!

Damn! I had missed this piece by Nick, and few people can dissect criminal poseurs like Biden the way Nick does. I'll repost it on The Greanville Post and hope that Nick's substack circulation keeps climbing. BTW, here's a piece Nick did with Carlos Gallego focusing on gaining media traction, the threat of co-optation by the fake left, breadtubers, etc., in 2022, that deserved reposting, so we did:

If a normal person described a burnt down building as a burnt down building to a politician, that politician would then go on to explain why that burnt down building is not a burnt down building.

This is what babbling really is.

With all the problems with the Dems, what are the other options?

I am not a believer in the viability of revolutiion against advanced

Capitalist states, and I am almost as dubious about thrid partiew.

Dems sort of remind me of the car I had when I was 25 -

burning oil, bad alternator, back door didn't lock,

but it was the only thing I could drive to work
