Felt that
Could always be a leftist and experience splintering without victory.
We don’t splinter, we factionalize.
I literally can’t go a full day on lemmy without seeing a self-described leftist shit on other left-leading groups.
“Oh you voted for Harris? You might as well have just went ahead and voted for Trump. She was going to do worse things to Gaza anyway”
“Bernie checks 90% of the boxes I want in a candidate but that last 10% is a total deal breaker, so he’s just another mainstream liberal”
Don’t mistake those fascists for socialists. They’re just cheering for the other empire and lying about it. They shit on left-leaning groups because those groups stand between them and the totalitarian regime they desire.
Or we can just accept the vulnerabilities of pluralistic ideals. Not every joke is an all out attack and mask off reveal. Your comment inceptions the leftist fighting by being so offended by it.
Ah, yes, jokes like “Russia is right” and “Tiananmin square is American propaganda.” Gosh darn my easily offended sensibilities, sparking wars between like-minded leftists, all because I can’t take a joke.
Fuck off.
Yeah thats far fucking different than “leftists fight”. Honestly his joke was funny. But you’re right. We’re going to be under the heel eternally because of this. Thats totally destroying all leftist movements worldwide because we joke in our own spaces.
Leftism is a pointless rhetorical crutch for the politically illiterate, it doesn’t really exist. It’s a loose, essentially worthless grouping of a bunch of diverse ideologies that have little in common outside of being generally anti-fascist and not liberal
…I was going to do a joke on that angle but I couldn’t make it funny enough not to hurt
