    This is one thing the left will always have that the right will never: solidarity.

    Well, the billionaires have class solidarity, and grillman has a pseudo-solidarity with the billionaires he lives vicariously through, but that’s about it.

      At the bottom of left solidarity is that all beings stand to benefit from communism. We don’t need scapegoats or bag-holders for our practices to work. Our theoretical solidarity is limitless. Even a Fascist who surrenders and submits to intensive re-education may possibly partake.

      Right solidarity works like a Ponzi scheme, requiring victims and suckers. Anxiety about being on the losing end of the equation is built-in, and is the shared interest at the root of their intrinsically precarious solidarity, which requires a steady increase in the supply of externalized human sacrifices to maintain the “peace”.
