    I mean, personally I’m an anarchist, I run with different crowds but I have run into people from PSL at protests for quite some time- since Iraq- and they’re usually a different vibe. I find a lot of common ground in wanting less external imperial violence and more directing that money to helping people historically oppressed internally. At the end of the day the way I see it, we have a shared endgoal, some potential political disagreements along the way, but at least I can count on principled opposition to genocide.

    Here’s a link to what their vision for a revolutionary government looks like.

    Frankly the need for more than ‘just reform’ is also extremely relevant now more than ever with decades of failure to address climate change in a meaningful way- at some point if your goal is meaningful change it’s going to require fundamentally restructuring how the economy operates. Some people will call that ‘authoritarian’ but what’s also ‘authoritarian’ is when a handful of people use their amassed wealth to poison the planet without repercussions, and jeopardize entire future generations, while using the police to suppress dissent. Instead we get ‘nothing will fundamentally change except more hot wars’ from the Democrats, and genocidal ideation from the Republicans.
