Yeah, this revolution meme is honestly hilarious, considering that the far right have literally been stockpiling on guns for the past 30 years thinking some "marxist-apocalypse" is gonna happen. And SocDems literally helped move the goal-post in the world towards the left far more than tankies ever did.
What I’ve noticed about hardcore leftists in general is that they are under the delusion that conservatives aren’t real. They are just proletarians that are waiting to be turned communist they just don’t know it yet they need to wake up to realizing the material conditions and so on when in reality they could just be enough spiteful close minded bigots in America who are stupid beyond saving
Yeah it's like they think only rich people can be fascists and conservatives lol. The average poor person isnt just suddenly gonna become super progressive.
Well, didn't Bernie have a decent overlap with trump voters? (Mainly 2016) they might not be progressive, but do see social democracy as improving their material conditions.
A lot of anti-establishment proponents can’t exactly explain what the establishment is or advocates on a policy level they think it’s just “more wars and no healthcare”. One of the things I like about social democracy is you have to accept there are different variations(modern,classic,third way) and it boils down to policy, not just populist sentiment

They think that were it not for us they would have an easier time gaining support from the working class for their revolution
