Im seeing a lot of post and and comment about picking up gun or about how posting is praxis. This is fun and all, i love posting and electoralism is a dead end.
But if you just buy Whatever folk machine, post about your country is bad and go back to bed hopping that for some reason a [insert here which denomination you would like to see in control] uprising that will for some reason get mass support and that you will overthrow you government... your are dreaming!
before you can get to this state there is a grueling propaganda and recruitment job to do, as much too make sure that enough of the population accept you as to make your rank stronger. so, for fuck sake go protesting , be disruptive & join organisation.
If you want to have a gun under your bed to remind you of the long term goal, so be it, but know that it will probably not be usefull before 20 to 30 year in a lot of country and starting shit too fast is a surefire way to get clap while accomplishing nothing
It appears then, that he is not referring to you. I didn't get that he was telling people to stop posting, but reminding everyone that on e shouldn't confuse posting with getting out there and make a material difference in peoples lives.
You have a good point, perhaps the wording wasn't good. There are however many people on the site who need a reminder every so often that there are many ways to help in the community and that being terminally online making fun of Twitter screen shots, while fun, doesn't materially help anyone and doesn't move society towards our end goal.
Well, i might have gone a bit too hard on the irony, i can admit that. im not saying everybody can, and if you can't that's perfectly ok and i don't think iv attacked those who are in this situation. But there is a lot of person that are perfectly able to help, but won't do anything. i also wanted to remind that if revolution is the endgoal, the road to get there is a long one, at the moment one person doing direct action without any weapon under the pillow is doing more for the cause than 10 people hoarding gun while scrolling on twiter in their room.
