YOU are speaking!
Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?
Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.
Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.
Your post partially inspired my post here: Let a hundred local socialist parties bloom
Summary for those who won’t click through is:
- we know as socialists we need to “organize”
- liberals are ready to get serious (trump bad)
- there are many reasons currently to not jump in to an existing org (it doesn’t exist near you, “political differences”, liberal friends aren’t ready to leap in to it with you etc…)
- logical, though experimental, approach is to create a “microparty” with your friends. Then you are organized and you have a platform to educate them while also working as a political unit.
- next step is to merge your microparty with an org that actually matters, or maybe you grow big enough to get something done in your city, or maybe yours is the best one and other microparties coalition and/or merge with you?
