Karl Kautsky
Co op Capitalism

The objections were hilarious too. Some people were confused that he was talking about revolution at all bc he was so reformist (and to be fair, when pressed, he danced around it like a motherfucker)
“Wouldnt the people in power block this stuff” LOOOOL
The response was even better tho
“They would but we wouldn’t”
Holy shit I’m crying dude no materialist analysis literally just evil money ppl bad and when we come to power it’ll be different no way hahahaha
My favorite part was black and queer attendees asking about intersectionality and the white male speaker and another white male leader was just like “yeah that’s important but we’re focusing on the economic and it would be apart of the new constitution”
And they kept getting pushed (very lightly tho) like how in any meaningful or material way and they were just like “we’d just include it bro” no way dude
Other gems include their praxis being “building a working class party *like the DSA*” lol
I’ll see if they send out the slides so I can post them here for history, it’s pretty hilarious
There was even this moment in the slides where he describes a bunch of social programs and the slides literally say “some people would say this sounds like capitalism, but it’s different” lol
Idk I’ve gotta do some historical reading for Lenin and soc dem theory bc maybe they’re just presenting it poorly but this shit is hilarious after already being familiar with anarchist critiques
