Especially if you dedicate your time to the actual study of Marx and Lenin and make leftism more than just a contrarian personality trait. Now go outside!

What is metaphysical about the recognition of possibilities? Don't we recognize the possibility for capitalism to transform into socialism under the right conditions (revolution)?
There's nothing wrong with acknowledging possibilities, but this notion of being appear to peer into the core of individuals and see some 'potential' clearly enough to rank them is just nonsensical to me. It smacks of wanting to get credit without having to put any of the actual work in.
Sounds more like they're trying to encourage people rather than compliment them
How is this post peering into the core of individuals? The post is concerned with the external relations of 2 types of people: one who primarily benefits from the capitalist/imperialist world system and is incentivized to continue supporting it and someone who primarily does not and has read enough to at least identify as someone who is against this system. Who is more likely to go on to participate in an attempt to overthrow it?
I don't mean to be so... argumentative but I don't really see this kind of post as a bad thing. Like someone else said in another reply this just reads as an encouragement for people to politically organize.
Where are these probabilities coming from in order to answer questions like this? I reckon the former is more probable but I openly haven't done any work to make the case for that being true, and neither does the post. It handwaves the issue away with talk of potential.
It's vibes based posting and nothing more. At best it's just to drive up morale or pat ourselves on the back for dunking on a random lib that stumbled in and jerked over how well adjusted they are.

Yeah that's one of my big stumbling blocks to things like this. Like sure it sounds true, but is it actually true or are we just patting ourselves on the back for some ethereal intangible potential that we apparently have.
