I think I need to say, in this politically fraught environment, that my aspirations of socialism and anarchism are just that--goals to strive towards, with small steps and large leaps, depending on many indices and perhaps unexpected conditions. In other words (thread)
I am not a purist. I think it is often worthwhile to notice and comment on contradictory behavior, but I also tend to pick my battles, and consider the damage when such a comment may humiliate a comrade. The goal may be over the horizon but it matters how we get there. Leftists
tend to be good at the circular firing squad, but it's time to move forward with all anti-fascists at this time, particularly as the Senate tries Trump and the details of the #EpiphanyPutsch come out. Our democracy is very limited, and I really don't care all that much about
the damage to the Capitol, but I do care that actual fascists attempted to snuff out the last remaining democracy in order to permanently install an autocrat. I pay particular attention, as a woman, to the ferocious anti-woman aspects to MAGA fascism. AOC is right--they came to
kill her, and with that they intend to kill any further motion toward equality of women, of BIPOC, of GLBTQ--and if the MAGAts are allowed to dodge responsibility for their failed putsch, it will simply serve as a practice run. This is not some boring Democratic theater but a
significant pivot in history. I stand with AOC unabashedly in her strong condemnation of the putsch. The Capitol police and elements of the Armed Forces were involved and they must be removed from power along with the inner core of Republican party plotters. They destroyed
their own legitimacy by their collaboration with that planned, murderous, antidemocratic stunt, and the whole party needs to go the way of the Confederacy they so adore and honor. Thank you for your time. #ImpeachAndConvict
