The Bernie Sanders campaign is successfully turning this election into a discussion that’s putting capitalism on trial and presenting “socialism” as an alternative. While this certainly doesn’t mean the public is becoming intellectualised with scientific socialist theory, it does mean that a significant amount of the public is embracing “socialism” as an American value and, as Lenin expressed nearly a century ago, this is an essential step in building class-consciousness. If circumstances continue to develop on this path, the public pursuit of “socialism” will become mainstream; open discourse will naturally lead to the prevailing of scientific socialism. By whatever means, let’s encourage and engage discussion about Socialism!

The pressing need today is solidarity, not theoretical purity. If you find those willing to break unity for the sake of a theoretical point, you’ve found one of two things. They’re either self-centred assholes or they’re provocateurs. The times are dire… we must all stand together or The Man will most assuredly hang us all separately. Have a care with those who attempt to argue the point…
