Many of the modern anticapitalists and marxists in the western world are aging out. Parenti is currently suffering from Dementia and Wolff is in his eighties and can't go on forever. Who comes next?
Essentially do you see any big modern marxist public figures coming in as the "old guard" ages out? Who?
Does the paranoid “fleawar” person support any actual organizations (besides maybe Hezbollah)? Sure any leftist movement is gonna have feds, but where are we supposed to organize?
Ok, after like 6 hours of going through some of this stuff... There's not really a lot of convincing arguments. Claiming Gloria LaRiva is a plant is a stretch.
The author basically denounces anything other than armed resistance; times are different and the PSL is seemingly adopting a coalition effort (although still Marxist oriented).
Now I do agree that some of these figures that have been invited to podcasts or delivered speeches may be problematic, but those people are neither part of the leadership nor even part of the PSL.
Whether the PSL has been co-opted, I think only time will tell. Until then still seems to me like a positive force actually organizing and tackling the challenges therein.
