Since unsurprisingly the Redscare people are going fash, it would be good to know who's a grifter and who's not. What's your predictions?

My predictions:

Grifters:

  1. Zizek
  2. AOC
  3. 1-2 from Cumtown (it's anyone's guess)

Not Grifters

  1. The Deprogram Boys (ok I'm still in honeymoon)
  2. Jezza (obviously)
  3. Richard Wolfe & Harriet Fraad
  4. Viki1999

"A better world is possible" is an unfortunately necessary step before anti-imperialism for most. We got a bunch of commies from Bernie's SocDem nonsense and we'll get even more if we become effective at capitalizing on those same sentiments. We should be anti-imperialist and hardliners on it, but Bernie et al provide us with people to radicalize.
