If you are actually a socialist, you need to understand that small democratic victories are essential for teaching the masses class consciousness. Keep the momentum instead of demonizing those participating in local elections. You too should be doing the same, anyways.

every single week, I’m starting to think that one step to winning any progressive gains is to line up all m*llenials

Jean-Luc Picard remains the single most compelling vision of progressive politics I am familiar with — secular, rational, compassionate, egalitarian; a believer in progress & abundance but also duty, hard work, and a constant battle for self-improvement and improving the world.
Maybe if we get occupied by China, they should release Bo Xilai to be our administrator to flood us with slogans and Maoist era imagery. Mabuhay mga sloganista
I think there must be a tough conversation to have that regional powers are not black and white. A lot of people who believe in a multipolar world flattens China as a power of benevolence and good for the region.
Many anti-imperialists excuse imperialism if it executed by those in the region (i.e. asians ruling other asians or africans ruling other africans). Many leftists then lambast other foreign progressives or marginalized when they do not fit into this narrative.

I'm no geopolitical expert, but as a Filipino leftist, I think it's a no-brainer: we must build solidarity with the American and Chinese working classes and help them pressure their governments to stay the fuck out of the Philippines. Our self-determination is non-negotiable.
