Arguably, what anarchism has been warning people about https://twitter.com/incandesceinto/status/860206939589849088 … (I know how that feels, btw, I'm Greek)
You forget where I live, and you probably know nothing about me. My entire presence here is predicated on respecting struggles for justice.

I mean, fuck centrists. They have failed without any struggle. But the left? It's *fucking hard* fighting this system. Why lump together?
-
Socialists in Greece, and much of Europe, haven't been leftist for the most part in a long while. Hell, even Syriza isn't leftist anymore
-
I agree that leadership has been utterly useless, especially Syriza. But at the bottom? I don't like to belittle that seemingly futile work.
-
I've got friends in Syriza torn up by what's become of what they've spent their lives supporting. But I know others who profited, too :(
-
Yeah.. the hegemony is so culturally complete, the Left in west is in no way immune to reproducing its bullshit :( Cue Global South.
-
Frankly, beyond the physical devastation left by recent decades, I rue the political one, where PASOK & Syriza defamed socialism & leftism
-
If it's any consolation, I don't think that defamation made it that far into the mainstream, beyond Greece? not compared to what NL is doing
-
I don't know, mate, people on the left around the world are pretty clued up, and tbh, it's hard to hide it even if we wanted to :/

Unless you are talking about politicians, not activists, in which case I apologise profusely and agree wholeheartedly lol
-
Ofc I'm not bundling people belonging to any of those spaces w their leadership (many of 'em are my ppl), but they do share responsibility

I'm not trying to belittle struggle. I'm trying to not blame it.
