But in complete contradiction we can ‘support’ these kamikazes as ’tilling the soil’ for a vaunted ‘real socialism’ to come.
A renewed U.S. left is forging its own identity—and anti-imperialism needs to be front and center. Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders’ soft imperialism runs counter to the building of an internationalist left.

This does real damage to AOC’s ‘socialist’ bent…and to he left supporters.
We can sense at the way radical thinking gets smothered by proximity to the realm of political power
