Supporting radical ideas does not require radical action it requires strong belief. Jeremy Corbyn was a radical leftist but also a pacifist. For instance I:
Keep the faith (in my fellow man)
Stay Whirly (I stay true to me and my beliefs where I can)

’50s to 70s were mostly over black and women rights, but I get your point. “The Reagan revolution “ as it’s referred to, did its best to end unions and spread propaganda against any country that wouldn’t give its resources to the US. In many ways, they succeeded, until a bunch of radicals flew planes into the world trade centre.

A belief against an evil that makes no effect to remove that evil is about as relevent to politic as a gentle breeze on a wind farm.
It's the happy tyrant who rules a nation of unyielding pacifists.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
I see belief as a plan to action. A belief that leads to no action, is more like a philosophy. It's good and well to have beliefs, but of what use is a passive belief?
Would it matter if such beliefs exist, or do not exist?

The pen is mightier than the sword. The word is the way. Radical action can simply be words creating a shared mindset. This is sometimes displayed physically outside the framework of society like the deviant behavior of Jan 6. But it can also be displayed in the ballot box, e.g. Trump's radicalism failing to quiet moderation.

Re: Re: There is no radical left in the United States, period.
Nina Turner had corporate and PAC money too. In fact, she outraised her opponent 2 to 1. It is almost like the influence of money in campaigns is over-stated.
Nina Turner lost, because of Nina Turner. She is a shitty candidate, who runs her stupid mouth, and gets herself in trouble.
Her loss should be a giant wake-up call to the left, that shitting on Democrats is not a winning strategy for them.
Democratic voters like the Democratic Party and Democratic politicians. That is why they are Democrats. What a shocker, I know.
