    I don’t disagree on principle, but that “if” is doing industrial machinery level heavy lifting. I’d love to live in that world, I really truly would. Unfortunately, I have to live in this one. I’m over here trying to make lemonade comrade, and you’re trying to make strawberry shortcake with strawberries we don’t have.

      Don’t mistake me articulating a vision with me believing that it is immenant.

      Electoral success tends to follow movements and movements tend to hinge on material reality, ie what the conditions on the ground are

      To play on your analogy, i don’t think we’re going to be able to survive on lemonade and whenever i suggest trying to plant some beans the lemonade fans accuse me of wanting to cut the lemon tree down
