Leftist Infighting

This is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" community where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Heated arguments are OK but pointless hostility is not (see instance rule 3).

But how can one call onesself a communist if one does not trust in the masses?

When one trusts in the global masses, but withholds that trust from those they know would sooner fuck up than properly allocate. i.e., Amerikans. Afaic, that's just opsec. See, I am landlocked in Amerika. I've seen and lived this place's callousness first-hand, gauged the atomization, broke bread and wallets for bail funds and commissary when no one else would. From that experience? I say 'show and prove'. Words are air when settlers speak them.

I think that's a fair point and a totally understandable position.
