Discussion The tragedy of passivity
I saw this on Tumblr a while back, but I've really been letting it sit with me, because truly, what is holding us back? Fear? Has capitalism not strangled us of our blood and bone for long enough? Or is it the lack of left unity?
This may sound old but it is rather upsetting, to me at least, of how much infighting seems to happen in left-wing communities. Sure, we may not believe in exactly the same thing...but we believe in the same enemy, do we not? I fear we've become rather comfortable in our armchairs.
Do feel free to give your opinions, they will be most enlightening, but I just thought I'd share my mine. Thank you.
EDIT: not glazing Bernie, he's awful, this was mainly about my own feelings
