    It is called the Nirvana falacy: rejection of anything that is not an immediate perfect solution.

    A road is crossed in many steps, not one giant leap.

      It does not apply here to smth that is this fundamental. Living outside of poverty for everyone, is very fundamental and basic, not smth that should ever be compromised upon

      Ironic.

      At no point in this meme or thread, has the argument ever been ‘We should never go to the 1st step’, it is entirely 'We should aim for the 2nd step, and don’t let the Libs stop you at the 1st.

      The only people who reject anything, are the libs who reject the notion that you can work towards the 2nd step.

        The only people who reject anything, are the libs who reject the notion that you can work towards the 2nd step.

        Do they? In my short lived experience its us leftist that reject just about everything. We don’t engage in elections do we don’t change policy. I can’t even get people around my local DSA to shift toward open source. My pitch there is that we are moving to a parallel economy and independence from capital.

        This meme is a microcosm of why we don’t have a real movement. The lib is broadly in agreement and gives us an angle for policy change, but the lefty, and echoed by fellow leftist in the comments, are flipping the table.
