Progressives Aren’t Your Friend. Among leftists, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party are often praised. They shouldn’t be. Progressive politicians are controlled oppression. They co-opt revolutionary language in order to further legitimize capitalism and the state. They are not a threat to the status quo. (1/2)

@anarchist_environmentalist The Democratic Party has already co-opted and twisted identity and environmental politics, progressives are their attempt to co-opt class politics. Working within the system cannot bring systemic change. Reform can’t bring revolution. Don’t let progressives pacify you. (2/2)
