  • I think the reveal implies there's been 3 Nikas: Luffy, Joyboy, and the OG Nika who the legend was based on and fought with the previous Niddhoggr

  • Sommers getting unceremoniously crushed is

    Kind of a slow chapter, curious what the implication of Imu's statement is. Are they referring to Niddhoggr from their time or like the fruit itself? Also no Joyboy reaction to Luffy?

  • Hasan says he won't vote for Newscum. He attempts to explain himself. He invokes Lenin. He says Democrats would kill you for more votes. He says he will work with Democrats...

  • The issue I'm trying to get at is that strategy is inherently contradictory. If the only way progressives can get elected is entering the party that cannot be reformed, then what are those progressives ultimately able to do to change the system in a meaningful way when they'll be obstructed by that party?

    Even if I accept CyborgMarx's explanation that there will inevitably be a split in the party that allows progressives to break off into their own thing, what prevents the new party from simply replacing/recreating the Democrats within the two party system that's so entrenched in the American voter's brain?

  • I definitely get the frustration I just don't like limiting ourselves to electoral politics as the only path because of it, that's dangerous thinking.

  • Yes, it is reifying the two party system! Independent members of government have been elected!

    Joining and putting organizing efforts into a bourgeois political party in the hopes that it will lead to some sort of rupture that will allow socialists to take control of its part of its resources and legitimacy on the national stage is Trotskyite entryism. Lanyard brain Trotskyism. Machiavelli in a newsboy hat.

    Lenin's position is that the party should be organized by and for the working class and that a party of this type can contest bourgeois elections but the goal is not to necessarily to win it's to use the platform given to further reach and organize the working class along communist lines.

  • What's left? No one is going to pick up guns. No one is willing to go farther than useless protests. I guess I just sit around and wait to die?

    Also I take particular issue with this part of your comment. The options are not vote or gun! A group of people united around the same goal are able to exercise their political, economic, and even physical power to affect change. Lenin explained this! That's how the Bolsheviks won!

  • Some offense, this is a reddit socdem type comment.

    Organizing is about finding and creating people who actually want to do something! When I was laying the groundwork for a union at my old job, some of the people I thought wouldn't be into it were on-board and willing to help because we had a goal and a path to get there.

    I actually think Hasan is a semi-effective organizer because through talking about progressive politics he's gotten a fair number of people into activism and union work. The main issue is that he doesn't seem to endorse or outwardly participate in any specific orgs so it's a little anarchic but I suppose that's a limitation of his transnational platform.

  • Protecting the next generation was a theme pre-timeskip but mainly around the characters we were following. Now that the characters, Oda, and the reader base are all older maybe he's made a conscious effort to focus on the kids as the next generation.

  • Hasan isn't leading people to the Democratic Party

    Hasan is advising people to create a force inside the Democratic Party

    I think S4A is extremely uncharitable to Hasan when he does these commentaries but I think you've kinda proved the point. The role of a communist is to build a working class party and the Democratic Party is not a working class party as you acknowledge. If you reify only a two party system works because past bourgeois "third partyism" movements have failed you've undercut the possibility for any sort of socialist/communist party to make use of bourgeois political institutions in the way Lenin is describing and Hasan is misinterpreting in the clip. You can look at the DSA as a prime example, they have members run as Democrats but ultimately have no mechanisms to hold them accountable when they deviate from the DSA line because the DSA is not a party. Hasan has done good work getting people moving people towards working class organizing but he sees the progressives in Democrats as a vehicle for short term gains for the working class, so it's worth stumping for a Zohran or AOC.

  • Big Loki please smush Sommers and let it kill him

    Seriously though that last page is awesome, Loki looks so cool! And he literally wiped out like all the dream demons just by showing up! Not to powerscale, but maybe he's too strong to join the Strawhats? This is like force of nature powerful.

    From the dialogue it also sounds like Imu is jealous of Brook stirring up Gunko's memories
