The more involved I am in IRL organizing, the less interested I am in this site and the more I find it downright cringe…the things you guys talk about, even a lot of the topics brought up in this thread, don’t matter at all outside of this site.

Edit to bring it closer to the top of my post: I’ve been here since the start.

I used to browse r/FULLCOMMUNISM years ago as a teenager who was new to and interested in communism, until I politically outgrew it. Kinda starting to feel the same way about this place, that like my politics have changed enough to outgrow y’all. Btw I’ve been here since the site was started.

Also, Maoism (and I’m not talking about gonzaloism, weird cult stuff, or 3rd worldism) would solve 99% of the problems of the western left. That’s probably the bigger unpopular opinion no hexberian would want to hear lmao. The Maoist anti-CCP movements in the Philippines and India make any movement here look complete child’s play. In fact they make western movements in general look like child’s play…the Black Panthers (who I idolize btw lol), the closest we’ve ever had to a “vanguard” (supposedly? even though the BPP was more of a broad unity group, rather than the most advanced sections of the working class that a vanguard is supposed to be..anyway), took 2 decades of fascism and the assassination of Fred Hampton, and were vanquished. Meanwhile, 3rd world movements, which any hexbearian would roll their eyes over, probs because they’ve been going on for so long, have endured decades of CIA-backed forced disappearences, imprisonment, torture, surveillance, and killings of 10s of thousands of their comrades (how many Indian and Filipino “Fred Hamptons” do you think have been killed in the protracted people’s wars so far?) and yet they’ve only continued growing. Without selling out like the Communist Party of China has. This is the kind of politically mature, advanced, anti-revisionist movement, nothing less than the movement to establish a revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat, that I want to build in this country, which is probably a different vision from some DSA settlers who stan china because it’s done social democratic stuff for its people lmao. Now I’m not mad at americans or the movement here, and I totally understand why it’s so impotent, but kind of going back to my first statement my experiences on the streets are really different from the concerns and topics prioritized here, because I meet a lot of people who agree with me. They’re not interested in caping for Shenzhen sweatshops, they’re interested in building socialism.
