Responding to the Ghost of David Graeber

Circulating on Twitter now is a 3 minute segment of David Graeber denouncing centrism.

As a statement of principles, it is fine.  But it is being highly promoted now for one and only one reason.  To discourage people from effectively voting against Trumpian fascism by voting for the only candidate who could defeat him.  Because of that, I made this tweet:

"Trotskyism, not participating in "bourgeois politics" and praying for "The Revolution" to save us, is also a failed ideology.  In 100 years, it has enabled nothing but right wing regimes and fascist dictatorships.  The Communist Manifesto, last section, advises differently."
