Youth unemployment in south africa is up to 74.7%, not in a good way, and some heavy austerity measures were introduced this year, together with unprecedented corruption.

I wouldn't call it leeching but since the general population unemployment is about 41% there is some intergenerational assistance.

Otherwise yeah people are just struggling in a very deep way.

stealing your vocab from leninists is bad enough but when it amounts to a kind of gradualist, reformist version of platformism then that's even worse that just being a leninist

I feel like I can guess what dual power is, but if anybody is willing to give me a short explainer to round out my guess they are welcome.

Quoting the libertarian socialist caucus of the DSA:

Dual power is a strategy that builds liberated spaces and creates institutions grounded in direct democracy. Together these spaces and institutions expand into the ever widening formation of a new world “in the shell of the old.” As the movement grows more powerful, it can engage in ever larger confrontations with the ruling class—and ultimately a contest for legitimacy against the institutions of capitalist society.

In our view, dual power is comprised of two component parts: (1.) building counter-institutions that serve as alternatives to the institutions currently governing production, investment, and social life under capitalism, and (2.) organizing through and confederating these institutions to build up a base of grassroots counter-power which can eventually challenge the existing power of capitalists and the State head-on.
