Do you think that leftists in America should unite into a United Front party in order to take power away from the increasingly unpopular Democratic Party?
I have mixed feelings about this idea. On the one hand, it sounds like an effective strategy, but on the other hand, I know that ideological unity is an important aspect in the success of a political movement, which a movement like this definitely wouldn't have with the many different leftist ideologies that often contradict each other.
@Radical_EgoCom It should, but the biggest caveat is how to bring ppl that support democratic party to a leftist party. You see what happened with a social-democrat like Sanders, what could happend if you go even further to the left.
This is the main problem I have with this idea. Having so many differing political ideologies in one movement will make political action extremely difficult. This is exactly what happened in the Paris Commune and in the Frente Popular during the Spanish Civil War.
@Radical_EgoCom The biggest problem I see is that the democratic party has no trace of left in it. Its just center-right conservatism. Is the ideological distance from the rest of the population, because the two main parties are right-wing in the end.
That's why America needs a leftist political party, because we currently have two right-wing parties that have monopolized all political power amongst themselves.
