But it’s also far-left and anarchist types who use this term, seeking the collapse of America and replacement with their own society. Can anyone explain about how is far-left radicalisation (as in Twitter and Reddit) any better than them?
I think if Twitter lefties do take power, they might turn away from that democratic ideal and repeat the Brezhnev era and its cronyism.

Just look out how these people reqct on Twitter when someone isn’t pure enough for them, now imagine they had the monopoly on violence that the government has.
It might have been an ideal view, even if it does not reflect what actually happens here. Would this kind of system (an individual having more control of their society and workplace) have any problems?I think if Twitter lefties do take power, they might turn away from that democratic ideal and repeat the Brezhnev era and its cronyism.
During an IWW campaign in Chicago, Steve, a former sheet metal worker, refused to support the union when approached about it. Years prior, he was run out of his job by both the bosses and the union and his concept of what a “union” meant had been colored by an ugly history. Had the IWW campaign involved a union election, he probably would have been a “no” vote — a “5” in the 1-5 business union organizer’s assessment of support. But when it came to shopfloor action, he emerged at the front of the fight. The union carefully built towards a work stoppage to win higher pay, and Steve led the charge, and even accepted a position as one of two representatives of the workers in bargaining with management.One of the faculty campaign organizers mentioned above reflects that in one campaign among adjuncts, “the worker-leaders, those who were most actively engaged in forming the union early on, were in the business department, the criminal justice department, and some of them were politically conservative.”The most capable, militant fighters who emerge in a given campaign are often people who had zero leftist commitments prior, or even any previous union experience. There’s a natural reason for this: folks are fighting from the heart, for what really matters to them and their family. Their motivation doesn’t come from abstract politics, as is the case for some leftists.
For a religion whose central figure said to feed and cloth the hungry and homeless, care for the sick and dying, tend to the less fortunate, and give of themselves, Christians sure do like to not do that.
