Like seriously, why isn't there at least one single leader or famous person who is uncompromisingly anticapitalist, good at organizing, gives rousing speeches and is actually willing to do illegal shit, get arrested, inspire people, actually writes new, relevant and useful theory and generally be an icon?

I keep reading about how we are entering the one of the most turbulent decades in history. Who do we have to represent us other than socdem politicians, podcasters and journalists? We are letting crisis after crisis go to waste. We are just wasting away...

    Lenin spent much of his time exiled from Russia, and himself was put back into the country by the Germans to destabilize their enemy.

    So if you want that parallel you’ll need to find some Marxist expat living in say one of the BRIC countries and wait for Biden to fuck shit up even worse.

    It’s Edward Snowden lmao.

      Snowden is a wonderful guy. Visited me often to pray for the death of imperialism.
