Why Progressives Can’t Organize
This is a great idea, one that we encounter often. The problem is that it’s impossible.
War mongers and the rest of the far right are singular in their belief system, and the hate they carry with them naturally brings them together.
Progressives have a range of different ideas: healthcare for all, gun control, better education, environmental stewardship, a woman’s right to choose, justice for all, and gay rights. We also have a range of different emotions: cheerfulness, hope, love, compassion, and sympathy. It’s this divergence that makes it hard to organize around.
