Personally I'm waiting for a larger mass of workers, and especially of proletariat in the armed forces to awaken. And by waiting I mean studying theory to be better at propaganda (for the lack of a better term).
Back in 1917, a very significant portion of the Russian army deserted or was otherwise not inclined to fight for the government. The situation now is different
What are you trying to say the last paragraph? The Russian army is not ML anymore.
I think the point they're trying to make is that currently the army is likely to kill any proletarian uprising were it to happen, where as back in 1917, the Russian army was fed up and wasn't about to mow down their countrymen at the orders of the same people who marched them to their deaths on the Eastern front.
Oh, I see. So it seems that the world is just getting more right wing. Do we have any chance?
I think that Western governments and elites are getting more right wing, but I think the people are coming round
Nothing but a feeling and a bit of hope. I think people know how fucked things are but have a lot of anti-leftist brainwashing to overcome.
The Russian army is not ML anymore
That's exactly what I'm saying. Also what comrade Flyberius said. Pretty much word for word
Oh, you mean that previously the Russian army was more class conscious, but that changed
Edit: Who is comrade flyberius?
Yes, pretty much. And comrade Flyberius is somewhere in the comments here, explaining what I meant
Ugh. Make that even moreso for female workplaces!
I'm always "stirring things up" because I care about earning a living wage and keeping our students safe (and calling out unfair/unsafe adults on their bullshit).
We preach empathy and "doing the right thing," but only the image, because otherwise, what would the neighbors think?!
In frame - 25% of those in attendance are
Out of frame - 10 qualified immunity given "I felt threatened", 20 calling 40 more , their local, county, state, and feds because they feel their profits threatened and their cold war think they are being "patriotic", and 100 willing to bankrupt and sacrifice themselves at the alter of crap-it-all-ism because they are also Cold War and anything that might threaten some other profits is a decree from their imaginary sky fairy to mow down that potential threat to profit's - and convinced by grifting confidence men that they will personally lose their soul and life if they don't.
All of which in turn are backed by a completely bought and slelectively court and legal system that will side with exploitation 9/10 times supported by all the above.
No matter how many times you make a correct assrtation about everything with studies and history to back it up, the idiots still would rather support the same system screwing them over with a giant red white and blue dick.
Yadda yadda
Modern means of production separates workers from themselves, thus making them even more alienated and making hard to unionize. Also, feeding greed and competition has the same effect (purpose?).
I have a long term strategy to provoke people! I'll share it here when it has actual substance to it because it will likely take a year or longer to finish. But my every move every day serves ultimately socialist goals, even the seemingly unrelated ones!
That being said, it is also daunting trying to imagine being the first to step forward when it's hard to know where to even start. I plan on exploiting spiritual longing and pop psychology with my route, I am sure there are other removed in the armor but they are few and far between. There is so much to unlearn and relearn for people here.
