The Panthers did free before school breakfast and after school babysitting and all sorts of actual community building like that. The PSL does protests and craft events and that’s it. I guess providing consistent services is an order of magnitude more difficult than organizing marches but it just doesn’t seem like the marches are getting us anywhere.
Because at the end of the day, they aren’t proles. If you want to be charitable, they are a modern iteration of the artisan class. If you don’t want to be charitable, they’re just petty bourgeois with the same fundamental flaws that the petty bourgeoisie has.
All I’m getting at is that’s not a principled stance from them, and I’m sick of seeing the “monster” that people like them create just get kicked to the curb. They basically created the “dirtbag left” and really popularized this thing we are all still doing. Then they got caught up in the Bernie bullshit, then they pivoted to movie reviews, and as I said earlier, glib takes on the news.
