Yes, it's a very different mindset than the warrior "crush them" mentality, there are so many human needs that are universal and that are not being met.

We need to rally everyone together to change this, just the progressive left cannot do it alone so I don't think it's a good time to be demonizing people in other parties, especially when our own party is so flawed.

The enemy is the greed and recklessness of global capital, and the war machines they use to extract resources and wealth. They'd rather watch the earth become an uninhabitable hot-house than relinquish their hold on wealth and power.

If our party was on the correct side of these issues I would be behind them all the way. And the young people today are seeing it the same way.
