A while back I asked someone here why “Tax The Rich!” wasn’t enough to rally people. They explained, in infinite detail, that only after the people were educated in Marxist doctrine could true change occur.
Yeah, seen a fair bit of that. Folks giving out homework assignments instead of engaging simply. And good luck if you largely agree with them but disagree on any bit of it.
I detest when a niche group tries to use a general term to refer to their specific thing. Like being in “the industry” or “the community”.
“You have to read up on theory”
And I’m a total believer in ideas that are complex enough that you need a book to understand them, to be clear. But that could never mean anything to the masses, firstly. And secondly, that’s still no need to get pretentious about it. Theory. Smdh
We need a focus point for the revolution. Something the masses can rally behind and not get divided by bullshittery.
if the rise of fascism wasn’t enough for you, nothing will
When people can’t afford food, that’s when it’ll start.
That’s when it comes at the highest price.
People have been living on food stamps for decades in US. Still nothing.
Right, because the food stamps allow them to afford food. They’re saying when people go hungry, that’s when it starts.
Chicken and egg. They get food stamps because they can’t afford food.
Gas prices spiking to $10. That’d do it. Look how much both sides lost their minds with a $2 increase.
Don’t get me started.

“Mamdani isn’t a real Socialist! He should have fired all the police already!!”
Stealing a third term seems like a good focus point.
How about we guillotine all the billionaires, oligarchs, evil CEOs and politicians that are perpetuating all this insanity.
Then once that’s done we can have a nice fireside chat to discuss what our focus point needs to be.
Sure, works for me. Mind you it’s a bit hot where I am now for a fireside chat.
