"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I decided to not be bitter and i followed a liberal influencer for like a week (they dont make political content usually) but today they posted that BULLSHIT about how trump is causing wars as a cover for the files and i had to unfollow. nobody is starting wars over that, theyre starting wars for capital and resources.

what the fuck is a ”eipstein class”? just those guys on the files? are the billionaires who refused or were not invited alright with you?

and of course the religious zealots doing the bit about how eipstein was satan incarnate while churning out money for their pastor to buy a new mansion.

the prolecattleiat is not being elevated to sapience by this situation alone. people have to read theory which is why i encourage them to do so. libs, anarchists and conservatives have the balls to talk about how mao, stalin and other leaders were also pedophiles or ray peests so communism is not worth it either so we just need a matriarchy as if a capitalist system would be fine if women were in charge.

No, you need vanguardism of scientific socialists. That science involves the analysis of bourgoisie society including the collaboration of classes to maintain the imperialist state, and how we are going to best the movements before that have failed.

People get upset at the suggestion that they feel because they feel the implication that they aren't "proleteriat enough" as an attack on their personal identity rather than invititation to betray their class.

Yeah proletarian is a class relation describtor not a moral judgement.

Marxist are not moralist. There is no inherent „goodness“ or virtue of being working class.

All that idealist religious baggage needs to go.

I'm so tired of people dismissing out of hand. It simply discusses making the twain one. We need the left and right brain. Imagination and practicality. Yeah being nt and nd present challenges. That's the cross, four pillars: left/right brain, animal instinct, divine. The story teller can carry an AK (assuming no physical disability), the guerilla can read, write, dream, paint. The shoemaker can play violin, the farmer can cast pottery.

All work no play makes a dullard.

yep. the call is not 'give up', it is 'change your strategy'. ignoring reality for the sake of false unity can only lead to opportunist blundering.
