      I have no issue with Hassan because Hassan exists in his own world. His only purpose is to begin the process of deprogramming libs.

      He’s also one of the only ones I’ve seen that actually seems like he would just full hog for any real revolutionary movement that forms. Dude was just a steamer and is now probably equally as influential as Fox news. He knows this leads nowhere and welcomes punches from the left.

      TLDR; keep bullying Hasan, keep agitating. Join an org, don’t hate people who follow him, but make sure they learn as much as possible and help show them what his role actually is.

          Yep, he’s not really that quiet about being a sacrificial lamb. I honestly read this post not as him clowning on someone, but as him saying “please take this fucking burden off me and actually build a vanguard, I will immediately recuse myself and step aside when that happens” which I actually kinda believe. Bro is tired, but he’s not gonna stop till the zoomer vanguard executes him with a smile on his face.

              Lol, it was meant as hyperbole of course. I just don’t see him as someone who gets fully subsumed by the party. His entire position is to be “left of the Dems” so even if they do become actually social democrats at some point I think he’ll continue to hold that position.

              And yeah, he’s not consequential as a political figure, but honestly Marx wasn’t either. It took a new generation of workers to carry the very moderate manifesto into a revolutionary movement.

              (Also not comparing Hasan to Marx in terms of theory, just in terms of practical influence on the working class of their time)
