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

i get the feeling they skimmed through volume 1 of capital

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

they are social democrats

extended welfare state

and free shit

does anybody here actually read messages

"who are inclined to -call themselves- democratic socialists..."

was what i said

@rail5 So that means your target audience was demsocs.

if you'd stop antagonizing me before listening to what i'm saying you might learn that we're on the same page

again our target audience was bernie supporters

bernie supporters often called themselves democratic socialists

whether thats an accurate label is irrelevent

my apologies if the phrasing in that one sentence was confusing

Go on....
