Why have democratic socialists appropriated Gritty when he is owned by capitalist conglomerate Comcast and represents a hockey team famous for literally beating communist Soviets during the Cold War?

The eyes. They are familiar.

no it isn't

>And seriously, who wants full employment? On the list of things we might demand, if we believed demands made any sense, this does not even rank. Wage labor is a misery. A democratic collective where you elect the guarantor of your misery is a cruel irony. That you would sacrifice your human capacities toward some productivity level required to keep your “full employment” in the US while the shantytowns of São Paulo molder is…still a misery, north to south. And yet this is the admirably humble program of democratic socialism at present. Its essence is “radical democracy,” per one of its leading lights, Bhaskar Sunkara, but not too democratic. We’d still work under conditions of market competition and all that entails. It would be “state-regulated,” but what can this mean? Competitive markets can only imply that your firm must be more productive than the next one over, compelling your boss—democratically chosen or not—to make you work harder or else to replace you with a machine. Still, we are promised the glorious horizon of “a world where people have the freedom to reach their potentials, whatever the circumstances of their birth.” Equality of individual opportunity! It is a rousing claim; you might recognize it from capitalism, that being its best-known selling point.

we want to re-appropriate everything that is currently owned by capitalist conglomerates. not just gritty

because we do what we want
