In 2008, I was still laboring under the misconception that society would make adequate progress

I even volunteered for the Obama campaign

Lol

A few years later I was part of the Pirate Party Germany, thinking progress can be voted into power.

It was a time of delusions. You were not alone.

And a little bit later I was supporting the campaign of Izquierda Unida and Podemos in Spain. They raised the minimum wage, passed the gender self-determination law and increased some worker protections, despite being a minority within a government in minority. Now the political parties to the left of liberalism are cannibalizing themselves, but that’s part of our cultural heritage and must be respected 🚩🚩🚩🏴🏴🏴Also they didn’t do anything regarding housing prices, but I’ll keep blaming the PSOE for that.

Hey I joined the pirates a few years ago. Don’t say it was delusions. We still can do sth. Like demonstrating… Yeah thats basically it.

Sounds like a based political group! There is no problem in organizing as a political party. The delusion was to think we are the new Green Party, but this time better, and we will change the world once we are elected.
