There are a lot of Western lefties that cannot imagine a productive program outside of adventurism. They're detached from the slow, difficult work of long-term organizing and agitation. This can be politically paralyzing because they don't actually want to bomb the Walmart, and they don't want to do electoralism, so they do nothing instead.

hard to keep going when effort is so disconnected from results. not just politics, any kind of personal improvement is like that too. one workout, one therapy session etc have no discernable individual progress, just whatever the effort takes out of you.

forget voting, I haven't even seen protests be effective here
