i can never remember how to spell his name lol
did you meet him though
not in person but i was a party to many a phone conference
basically the idea was bc i have somewhat experience in media we were going to take advantage of the bernie craze to promote marxist ideas
but the longer i stayed on these conferences
@Deleted User How do we actually know that he leads CPUSA?
the more i realized it was hopeless with these dudes
@rail5 HAH, I saw that you guys have giant phone conferences.
That must be a giant fucking mess.
Also fucking MEMBERSHIP TAXES.
well i mean
idk of a political organization of that size which doesnt ask for dues
and exceptions can be made for those without the money
but im no longer a member because well
they dont know what theyre doing
Yhea, I was in one that was the size of a few hundred members.
We didn't have dues.
@rail5 I looked on their and they are more like progressives than that of communists.
they just
dont really understand marxism
and just left it on the shelf after that
one of my major complaints when we were hashing out a plan was that they had no understanding of a target audience for these video productions we were gonna make
i mean the plan was to take advantage of the hype over bernie
and they wanted these videos to be 30+ minutes long
bernie bros are NOT gonna watch an hour long video on marxism
You guys wanted bernie?
He was hardly even a socdem.
no we didnt want bernie lol
we wanted to take advantage of the fact that he called himself a socialist to educate his supporters on socialism
What the fuck?
That would be a bad idea, they didn't want socialism, they wanted bernie.
I hope you realize that elections are now based off of personality rather than ideology.
no need to talk down to me, i know that very well
the point of the project was that a certain percentage of his supporters were likely to be radicalized now that the term had be de-demonized
nobody expected 100% of bernie supporters to join the CPUSA
But yet you expected bernie bro's to look at communism?
i'm not sure what you mean by "look at communism"
what we expected was to make short videos explaining the contradictions of capitalism and the incompatibility between democracy and capitalism, and target them towards people who were already inclined to call themselves "Democratic socialists"
during election season especially this could have been very successful had the party known how to organize
What? You really thought that democratic socialists would believe that democracy is incompatable with capitalism?
Not even the democratic socialists in civil war era china believed that.
They are not dem-socs
