I don't disagree with some of this, but think I do on a couple parts. I don't want this to come off as a dismissal though, I do agree with a good amount of it.

I think, from my perspective, I've spent a number of decades creating all kinds of different communities, online and offline and also as a job for companies. An aspect of community building is liking the people including the bad ones, in part because there's not a whole lot you can do about them unless you purge them (not always the best approach) and in part because the drama certain elements bring is entertaining, and another part being that over time you can watch these people grow and change too.

I apply this same experience to spreading the red, to lifting more and more people out of ignorance and into consciousness. Yes this sounds very pretentious and you're absolutely right to take a stab at that because describing it that way sounds like dogshit but I do not have a better way to describe it. Education is the only tool we have and education creates consciousness and I have personally watched it create an unbelievable number of reds. Will those reds be revolutionaries? Not right now, I agree. But we have zero ability to affect the material conditions. We can only spread the red until the material conditions are right and then watch and hope that we have spread enough red that flips revolutionary under the deteriorating conditions.

I like the shits in the communities I build, communities are sort of like weird ant farms and I enjoy sitting back and watching them after putting work in to build and foster them. I also like the people, including the shit ones, the ones who haven't yet flipped, etc etc.

As an aside to this -- I really think that the trans community using "egg" has parallels to radicalisation. There is a socialist red egg-cracking that occurs.
