Incremental changes like allowing abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living to skyrocket, drone striking workers around the world, doing nothing about the climate, allowing millions of avoidable covid deaths for the sake of the rich... Oh and presiding over the restoration of child labour.
Anything I missed?
You're useless. You are projecting enormously when you say we socialists only talk when literally everything is going backwards even when you're in power.
What do you even do anyway? Are you organising? Or do you just vote every few years and act like that means you do something? We organise.
What organization have you done?
Me personally, I teach and make my students aware of the dictatorship of capital, imperialism, the profite motive.. Basically marxism-leninism 101 on a introductionary level.
Other than that, I'm active in the teachers union and volunteer in the local chapter of the Marxist leninist party tog et local projects of the ground, like extending the public transport network, social housing, and most important of all, talking with people about their problems, the rise of fascism where I live and how to counter it, as well as the current neoliberal line of thought in both local and federale government.
What have you done?
Whataboutism!!
Team? You're not on our fucking team you side with fascists every fucking chance you get. You're fake, full of shit and untrustworthy allies.
Comrade Patrick Stewart playing Lenin says it best.
And brigading ain't fucking organising numbnuts, nor is anyone doing any brigading when it's at the top of our /all/ page right now. I'm talking about unions, salting, activist groups, direct action, REAL shit. Not fucking voting and posting on the internet. What do you do? Anything at all?
Completely skipped over the fact that ALL of the above things happen when liberals are in power too didn't ya? Just utterly sidestepped it. You ignore the reality happening in front of your eyes and only listen to meaningless words. You're naive as fuck and very easily fooled.

I can't speak for everyone but there are a lot of union members and organisers among the ranks of Hexbear. Before I went back to school I used to organise with my local Tennant Union personally, but trying to balance 2 jobs, school, and organising work came to be a bit much for me so I guess we really aren't that different
I'm a
Here's something for you teammate
wait for it
Brigading is when silly posts appear on my federated front page and I make fun of your bad opinions.
Once again, the moment someone whips this one out, all I gotta do is look at when they joined. And see yup, that's a reddit refugee. Works 100% of the time, every time.
You've been here two weeks, cool your jets and enjoy federation.
The site actively recruits for communist orgs, mutual aid groups, and provides resources for labor organizers. My organizing committee at work exists because of Hexbear, for better or worse.
