  • Expanding on what the other commenters have said -

    Ultimately when the status quo is threatened it’s been shown multiple times throughout history that even though SocDems may desire a somewhat more equal society their actions have pretty much always been against communists fighting for actual change (SPD and Luxembourg, etc.).

    They see themselves as allies of capitalism at the end of the day so once push comes to shove they cant be counted as allies. That doesn’t mean we can’t work with them in very specific instances or try to educate them into becoming communists (think a lot of communists started out as SocDems at some point) but we need to keep in mind that as organizations/parties they aren’t allies and will not protect us from the more brutal wings of fascism.

    Edit:

    Another way to think about it is SocDems will support capital until the end since they still think it can be reformed(otherwise they wouldn’t be SocDems), and since capitalism will always decay into Fascism that’s why they’re the moderate wing of Fascism.



  • It’s not so much just that the US leaders are idiots (they are), it’s that many of them will prioritize their own personal enrichment from bribery lobbying from AIPAC. That’s the reason so many of them will continue to support Israel.

    Also when you basically need to be rich or useful to the rich to afford to run for congress going against AIPAC is pretty much a death sentence for your campaign. That also filters out potential dissent.

    Goes to show that capitalism will always eventually run into problems since it will prioritize short term profits over everything.
