Not really? Eliminate capitalism is a goal, but just saying that contains no actionable steps. Repealing Citizens United is an actionable step that brings us closer to that goal as it removes legal bribery. Like I get it we like to joke here but in reality thats an actusl step we can take today to reduce the oligarch’s power and thats a good thing, Mark.
So you think we should say fuck it, leave the legalized bribery, its not worth doing anything if its not the complete destruction of capitalism? Is that a bit? Lmao
Same reason Democratic Party entryism is a dead end, citizens united miraculously going away doesn’t alter the fundamentals, we are living under the dictatorship of capital and every single arm of state power serves it, not us.
Okay but is it better if corporations can donate millions to their preferred agenda conforming candidates? Cause thats a massive issue in any supposedly democratic system. It matters to me cause anarchy and democracy are two sides of the same feather.
Yeah but eliminate capitalism isn’t an actionable plan because its too broad. Repealing Citizens United is.
Are you…. Is this a bit?

In the same way electing AOC is maybe, as in, not at all.

Lots of actual tangible steps and organizing to be done but getting SCOTUS to overturn citizen’s united won’t accomplish a damn thing.
Why do you think that?
