I keep going off about this but the majority of the labor force mass unionizing would secure wage and work protection to isn’t even white.

Radlibs are really on a “unions are brocialism” type of kick lately.

I see it most often with DSA idpol people, there’s this antipathy towards trade unions characterized by some imagining that they’re upholding patriarchy or not woke and exciting. Struggle sessions of IWW guys being sexist and what not. In my own experience I got hassled by someone I used to be in a “women’s interest” type org with as not having enough women in my union when women only make up like 10% of culinary labor. I had no idea what to say.

Man that thread could be it's own post. Like this guy:

I used to browse tumblrinaction back in 2014 when I was a budding reactionary, and almost all the justifications I see from people in that thread are basically identical to the ones people would pull out on tia to defend using words like f****t. I know CTH has a lot of brocialists, but this is still infuriating to me.

"Four years ago I was active in one of the biggest alt-right recruiting grounds, which makes me an expert on how the these people are reactionaries."

Like dude, you've been with the left for less than an election cycle, shut up. Chapo has so many problems but I don't think these people realize what a breath of fresh air it is to have a voice that does more than just self-flagellate and called things "problematic" endlessly.

Unlike this user I was on the left in 2014, like I've been my whole life, and the mood was what I imagine a inquisition show-trial must have looked like, this endless loop of people going "sweety, "id$ot" was used to define people with an IQ between 80-85 in the 1810s, so you're clearly ableist for calling Neo-Nazi skull scientists id$ots, we all know using a slur means you are dehumanizing the target group, so sorry not sorry hun, I won't engage with somebody who wants to exterminate the disabled, thats the facts ya'll." and nothing got done because every discussion about the nature of the problem, which is that we're losing, had to progress at a snails pace lest the whole thing get derailed when somebody expressed any idea or emotion slightly more edged or complicated than a 4th grader's worldview.

And then along comes Chapo, who goes "yeah Mitch McConell looks like a turtle and he can suck my curved dick for what he said in the senate last week" and its like holy shit, this is a message a normal ass person could actually get behind.

And now it looks like we're sliding back into it. Exiting the Vampire's Castle will never not be relevant

edit: lmao down thread:

.....why do you love it? It’s a sub for mildly progressive, aggressively white socdems who pretend that they’re revolutionaries or something. The vast majority of them really don’t care about the struggles of marginalized folks in this country, they just wanna get their lil chuckles from CTH and Cumtown. They would just as easily be fascists if that ideology happened to cater to their weird, pathetic senses of humor.

Progressivism is when you're a hard ass; the more serious you are, the more progressive you are.

"The second law of the Vampires’ Castle is: make thought and action appear very, very difficult. There must be no lightness, and certainly no humour. Humour isn’t serious, by definition, right? Thought is hard work, for people with posh voices and furrowed brows. Where there is confidence, introduce scepticism. Say: don’t be hasty, we have to think more deeply about this. Remember: having convictions is oppressive, and might lead to gulags"

In DSA meetings I used to go to, the only ‘union talk’ I remember was obligatory tokens of guilt, like saying “I think Ryan was talking about getting the labor committee going again” every week to the same 3 people who can be trusted to keep showing up even though they had to listen to that.

It's because brocialism is a word that, in practice, just means "socialism." Anyone who cares about class is immediately tarred as a brocialist for not being racist enough.
