      If one of those aligns with his political views, maybe. That doesn’t mean he will be allowed to steer that particular political party; and I think that’s why.

      I don’t get it. He seems to understand the dems will never be a working-class party. Why’s he still in there instead of an actual socialist org like the PSL or FRSO?

        Fear for his life, probably. He seems to be popular enough to give those parties a momentum that would make him a target of both the capitalist parties.

        Black Panther party members — including its leader — were killed by the FBI. A genuine threat to capitalist rule will naturally have to face these threats.
