Saw some globe twitter posters the other day talking about how she started out a little loony but she’s good now and I was just like
AOCIA
People always talk about changing the system from within, but neglect the fact that the system changes you as well
This is why a lot of communists are very clear that the point of getting elected isn’t to succeed in reforms (thought that is nice) it’s to get inside the glass house so you can commence rock throwing.

Literally all you are doing by getting into “the system” is switching classes. It’s no big mystery why these so-called “progressives” that hold seats in the halls of bourgeois power become more revisionist and reactionary over time.
Good luck finding a politician that has resisted this trend. There aren’t many, if any at all. I would love to retract this statement by being proven wrong, though.
I’ve seen it brought up before that in the past when the US had a stronger socialist movement, it had people who ran and were elected to US Congress but then used their position subversively, and their terms were generally short-lived in the process. How I wish this was AOC – she seemed to abandon that once Trump was out of office.
