Are you talking about the " liberal " friends of the American
plutocracy - protected by the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, the
military-industrial complex ?
Working class socialists don't focus on vicious " identity politics " ( " Violence might be a way of reclaiming identities ").
A murderous ruling class armed with all the power of the state
cannot be " bullied ". THEY do the bullying with the help of thousands
of police thugs.
" Christian Socialism " ( envisioned by
the great French writer Zola) believes in mass action. If you want "
violence " , you can move to Chicago.
Democratic
Socialists are still around and confident as ever that global
capitalism has no happy future. They also want socialism to be taken
seriously in Russia and China.
This year marks the 100th
anniversary of the Russian Revolution - which inspired the working class
of the whole world in 1917.
" Ten Days That Shook the World " by John Reed should be in ANY " radical " book store.
The " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders should re-read the speeches of Eugene V. Debs ( especially his anti-war Canton Speech ) .
