Utopianism and idealism have long plagued the left, as Marx and Engels pointed out a century and a half ago. But these days, the leftists are tilting at wind...

This is actually quite good; addresses the western left's obsession with purity and martyrdom without producing a single useful result.

          Bolsheviks mostly fought against religious and nationalistic brainworms, capitalist propaganda in the modern sense didn't yet exist.

              They were even more idiotic than modern brainworms, but massive disillusionment with old society really helped.

              there’s probably always a period where radical ideology is disseminating through the masses and is mostly misunderstood you know?

              There was literally a joke about it:

              • Who you support: Bolsheviks or Communists?

              • I support the International!

          Its so funny considering its a total failure. What good was the New Deal when we are living in its consequences?

            Western "leftists" like the ones in the "breadtube community" have a fetish for failure. They can only support movements that didn't actually achieve much at all before being destroyed, only support leaders who were martyred, etc.

        Xi, please use powerful Chinese industry to build a locker big enough to shove all the western nerds into at once.

          lmao, that's true. For the record, I'm joking about :gulag: , none of these terminally online nerds are dangerous enough to warrant it or at all worth the effort.

          I expect an approximately 70% likelyhood half of them would end up organized into the world's least effective "anti-autoritarian" suburban CIA militia, too, which would be funny as hell.

      And calling China left in any way is a joke at this point.

      So the western left bitterly insists as their own nations decline and they continue to make zero progress towards a better world.

        You can't blame them, they can't actually take action. They've become fused to their armchairs. :bordiga-despair:
