    We really should start supporting real political parties instead of these vague, opportunistic organizations. A similar thing happened with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Our frustrations will continue to be co-opted until we organize ourselves politically.

    That’s what happens when the control of the rightful protest is overtaken by random pricks who have barely anything to do with the working class.

    I’ve learned the hard way that if a protest movement is not class-based, there’s no class and it’s not based.

    Chapo Trap House makes an absolute shitload of money, don’t see them funding co-ops, collectives, mutual aid. Edit: Not to compare them, i’m saying they both suck and many other leftists that luck out with income streams also suck
