"We are calling on every member of the incoming 120th Congress to vote against Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker in January 2027 and choose a different candidate."
You have not learned from history, and because of that you cannot see how the problems of today are connected.
It’s funny how wrong you are about that, but I’m not here to get into an intellectual dick-measuring contest with you.
It doesn’t matter why I think Allende was couped. Because this isn’t Allende.
A progressive government has no means by which to appropriate the commanding heights of the economy,
We’ll see about that.
then they will abandon your frame of view and seek those who can answer their questions.
To anyone who prefers Cowbee’s way, go ahead and follow Cowbee. I won’t try to stop you.
To everyone else, we have work to do. And we don’t have much time left to waste getting tripped up in these thorny vines. We have a path to walk.
To anyone caught in the middle, the ravine is only going to keep widening. So if you can’t choose a path, then I hope you’re flexible enough to do a split without getting yourself injured.

And this is exactly why you have not learned from history. Do you think that you have a solid chance of surviving jumping off Hoover Dam without a parachute, just because today is not the same as the times when people did before? As I said, of course this isn’t the exact same, but this necessarily requires proof that today is fundamentally different enough to no longer apply. We call this the difference between the generality and the particularity of a thing. Every thing has both general characteristics and particular ones, and you have not proven that the particular characteristics have changed to where the general no longer apply.
You’re stating that the US state is fundamentally unique among all states in history, not merely a particular state but one that has practically nothing in common that we can look to for analysis. That’s hardly a justified view, which is why I have asked either for your analysis on Allende, or your proof that the US is significantly different enough to throw that out. You provided neither, and just restated your hypothesis.
Contrary to what you say, the path is absolutely clear for revolution: organize the working class, and raise the level of political development of the working class. We cannot stumble blindly ahead on vibes, as you insist, but instead must take a scientific study of history, and apply analysis to our conditions today, rather than a stance of historical nihilism.
