All sorts of ppl say that the Left is disconnected from the working class and must be abolished, and this argument presents itself as some hopeful step forward. In actuality, it is a step backwards and continues the disconnection btw the working class and socialist movement
Fucking wild to me that in one of the least sectarian points in the US lefts history there are still people arguing that in order to advance itself the Left needs to abolish itself like some dime store 2015 plat
And looking at the direction that Burns et al went in we Literally know what happens when people take this line that in order to go to the workers the socialist movement must disabuse itself of politics: distrust not just of other leftists but of politicized people generally
including people who's identities are inherently political, like migrants, queer people, etc. If we're going to the Workers and not trying to talk up politics, then why bring in all these arguments by allowing the presence of someone with too many piercings and colored hair?
