    During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.

    This is what happens when you glean all your knowledge from memes, shitposts, and half assed "effort" posts

    I guarantee you I could make this person call Rosa sexist by anonymously quoting Rosa. I wonder what they would say about some of Rosa's word choice when referring to counter-revolutionary women...

      It’s “Reform Or Revolution” which also kinda answers what it’s about

      Rosa, famously, made an argument against revolution in reform and revolution and then quickly participated in a revolution

    Is TikTok as unhinged as it seems? I've never been on it but everything I see from it is weird performative hysterics (granted, that describes much of the internet).

      The algorithm pushes you some nutters if you like anything remotely to that. But it’s ok for the most part, at least to me.
