I would like to mention though, that I was critiqued by (western) MLs and (Western/Southern American) Trotzkists for advocating for kitchens for all and social programs which ensure food security esp. for kids and some parts of the working class. Why? Cause "Marxism is revolutionary and revolution doesn't happen by creating food kitchens and food donation places."
"Marxism is revolutionary and revolution doesn't happen by creating food kitchens and food donation places."
When we were doing mutual aid during the pandemic, the easiest way to get your foot in the door for Marxism was when you were the friendly person handing a crate of food, not the scowling weirdo on the keyboard.
Even the cartels understood this lol. This is why a lot of poor communities support them despite their deranged evilness. At the end of the day, no matter how just and moral your cause is, humans have to eat. If your cause is too high and mighty to feed others, then you can’t complain when they choose the other options
Apparently this was a factor in the Muslim conquest in the 6th and 7th centuries. The Muslims would invade, take all your stuff, tell you what they expected in taxes next year, and then leave you alone. And if you converted you'd get all the perks of being Muslims. For many of the areas they invaded this was a better deal than they were getting from their local rulers so people put up with it and the conquest went relatively smoothly for a conquest, exploding from Arabia all the way to Spain and a good ways out east in like two centuries. You can be the bad guys as long as you're not the worst guys.
yes it really does. Look at the church and all the power they have in society. At the end of the day that power comes from running events, community support programs and childcare in places without much of that
There is power in being the people that people go to when they are down and out
How are you supposed to wage revolutionary warfare without a supply line lmao. Do they expect guerilla insurgents to like shop at a Walmart or something lol
You see, you will automatically win people with your ideology if you simply… stand up on a box and speak loudly. After all, speeches and literature feeds the soul, and that’s the most important food of all.
Wow somewhere a gym locker is missing it's nerd. I don't even know how I would respond to it, but there would likely be swearing.
