    Barring whatever other insanity is in this thread, you’re left with the problem that OP is asking how to destroy democrats. If it were “how do we destroy republicans? Also I’m chill if democrats are also destroyed” that would be a different message. But the message was how do I destroy democrats.

      That’s not the issue being discussed, though. In the US, there is the notion among the Working Class that just backing the Democrats harder will solve the ails of society. This isn’t true, though, the answer lies in millitant labor organizing.

      Moreover, without erasing the foundations for why there’s a Republican party in the first place, you can’t truly “destroy” it. Another far-right party will continue to take its place, be that the Democrats or a new party. Asking how to destroy a party isn’t the problem, here, the problem is in moving away from using the Democrats to push for change, which historically is a strategic failure, and instead push for millitant labor organizing.

      Not sure what you mean by “insanity” in this thread, either.

        How do you destroy the notion that Democrats are the good guys?

        Seems like the issue being discussed. Or do you think that once the democrats are seen as the bad guys by everyone they will stick around?

          Destroying the notion of the Democrats being the good guys is a separate concept from destroying the Democrats. The reasoning of Communists for abandoning the DNC is because it cannot and never will support the Working Class, ergo it isn’t a viable strategy.
