kind of incredible that most people are just sitting back and taking it.
Complete atomisation of a society is a hell if a drug. I say to comrades all the time, communists used to have the challenge of organising the community, our generation of commies has the additional step of actually creating a community to organise.
I guess what's tripping me up is that if there are people so disaffected by society that they are willing to murder children because 4chan told them it's cool, why is there not at least a higher prevalence of individuals who are willing to do the same thing to bankers, executives, politicians, etc.? I mean obviously there's one or two big ones here and there, but the ratio is WAY off, and it's not like people don't know who's fucking everything up, even if some people have been pointed the wrong way by propaganda, there's still surely at the least hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of Americans who are able to see the past the veil of red vs. blue nonsense to the glaring source of the problem.
It's not the same thing as building up a community or movement, I'm just amazed that we have such an excess of mass shootings but only one person who actually deserves it gets blasted, what, once every several years, if that?
Well honestly we have had two in the last two years, which is a better ratio than it has been.
On the plus side, the task of creating a community comes with the opportunity to build it in our image, encoding our values into it's foundations
Working on it
Ya we need some modern day Engels or Simone Bolivar's. I think Castro might have been one, too.
it's pretty easy to believe honestly. americans are miserable assholes who hate others and themselves, they'd rather die than talk to each other enough to organize a real resistance against capital
you sound like an asshole yourself, sir.
OK, but they're right.
I only disagree that they hate themselves. I wish those egomaniacal walking piles of cancer cells hated themselves more.
There is only useless protests, book clubs and adventurism
A synthesis of those things together is revolutionary praxis tho
Lenin started off as a member of a book club. Americans are so politically brain dead that honestly reading groups are about the level they are at. It would be a huge achievement just to get most to read a book or engage with any kind of working class theory.
But yes you need more than a book club. But most Americans aren’t even at THAT level yet.
But it's going to get harder to get. The free is getting so ad-choked it's difficult to watch. And the paid stuff is getting more expensive and consolidating more and more (Paramount is trying to buy Warner Bothers and HBO, Netflix raises their prices every 6 months, they're all cracking down on password sharing, etc.)
They're forgetting both the bread and circuses part.
Oh right, I almost forgot about the 🏴☠️🦜
If they ever figure out a way to stop all that, we're getting a revolution for sure lol.
