While I’m entirely pro revolution, you need to get to a state where the vast majority of the proletariat is on your side. That is simply not the case in many countries. We’re going to have to wait, and we’re going to have to do things we don’t like doing, like doing actual physical work to convert the proletariat
Exactly. Look at the liberal discourse these days and you'll find hundreds of people who have got it in their heads that it's not their responsibility to educate anyone, and that the working class should be expected to figure it all out themselves. "Google is free" doesn't help anyone but your own ego. I'm not saying you have to turn everyone you meet into communists, but I believe we all have a personal responsibility as leftists to at least try to educate others.
