A New Battle Plan for the Left

Post Reply New Topic

The left wing battle plan should be to re-elect Trump ...

He is working on the border adjustment tax, redoing NAFTA, limiting cheap skilled labor immigration, ended TPP.

He created "Made in America day" and a "Made in America week" ... that we should strive to make products in America

Why isn't obvious to everyone that Trump is trying to create a personality cult for himself?

What about these tantrums?


If we don't stop making fun of Donald Trump, he might start cutting himself.

Made In America Day is a joke when you consider how his, and Ivanka's products are made in third world sweat shops.

Hi all. This thread is for the liberals and lefties here. 2020 is fast approaching. Our old political strategies are no longer working. That's why Trump won.

People and organizations change their political strategies as time marches on. That's obvious. Trump won the Republican nomination because the old "compassionate conservative" strategy of George W. Bush is finally dead. Nobody under seventy is fooled by it anymore. That's why Trump used the "red pilled alpha male" strategy instead. That was a good strategy. Trump was aiming for younger right-wingers who take r/theredpill seriously ... and he hit the mark.

IF we (the left) want to keep up, we need to change our strategy too. Listen to me and listen good.

1. Go deeper than ordinary anti-capitalist rhetoric: We've been trying to sell universal health care to the American people for quite some time now. That's all fine and good ... but we need to go deeper. We need to break free of the corporate chains using crowdfunding. We must speak without a corporate filter. Talk about how lobbying has destroyed democracy. Talk about how the original anarchists and libertarians were actually socialists. Talk about how the wealthiest eight people on earth own half of the world's wealth. Corporate liberalism must die. The phony "liberalism" of Barack Obama, the Clintons and MSNBC must die. From now on, anyone who minimises the importance of corporatism and class antagonism is a traitor to the left.

2. Promote left unity: Remind communists and anarchists that we are all fighting against the same corporate elite. Don't lash out at the anarchists/communists unless they show hostility towards social democrats. The political left, in its current form, is too heavily fragmented. We don't need to all agree with one another on everything. We just need to create a temporary alliance which consists of every person who is a threat to corporate power.

Donald Trump managed to get Neo-Nazis to vote for the first time in their lives. Perhaps we could do the same thing with anarchists.

3. Make sure Bernie Sanders runs again in 2020: We need him. We so desperately need his wise words.

Overall, the left desperately needs a revival of class consciousness. The left, in its current form, has everything except class consciousness.

I'd like to end the post with a message to the political right.

Dear Political Right: By voting for Trump, you have made something very clear. You no longer want to play nice. You want to play hardball. You wanna play hardball? Fine. Two can play at that game. We'll be able to counter your macho bro army once we have the anarchists on our side. I accept your challenge. Game on.

What about these tantrums?


If we don't stop making fun of Donald Trump, he might start cutting himself.

Also, avoid toxic candidate such as Hillary. If the Democrats had run Joe Biden we would not be having this conversation.

You're grasping at straws now.
Who gives a $hit about his tantrums over the TV? If course, this is assuming he actually does it and no, I didnt watch the whole video. How much property damage has this caused compared to the post election protests?

Bernie is a good man, but he will be too old in 2020, assuming he lives that long. We need a younger Bernie.

Cowboy up to the fact that Trump won and will be the President of The United States for 4-8 years.

I voted for him more to stick it to liberals than any other reason and it seems to be working.

It goes way beyond that. People are literally attacked for wearing anything that that's pro-Trump. If you want to get attacked, simply ware a cap that says Trump or make America great again or anything like that. If you want your car to get vandalized put a Trump bumper sticker on it.

You've underestimated me again.

I'm glad that Trump will be president for 4-8 years. Remaking the Democratic Party in Bernie's image will take about that long.

I voted for him more to stick it to liberals than any other reason and it seems to be working.

So ... you are primarily motivated by a desire for vengeance?

What about making the world a better place?

Of course, lots of "liberals" kinda did that too. For example, lots of women supported Hillary over Bernie just to spite the Men's Rights Movement.

See? Our system is screwed. People don't believe that they can vote to make the world a better place (which is mostly accurate) so they vote out of spite.
