It’s actually not like building a lego set. If you’ve never touched theory or praxis you’re going to need a ten minute video just to figure out how to organize a union at your work even though that’s a pretty simple job if your state allows it and I know I had anxiety considering they were basic organizing tool because my boss might try to fire me. And even if it was as simple as building a dual power network and sharing resources was still a pain in the ass.
Trying to imagine how telling people that over throwing capitalism, joining all the factions fo the left and verifying that they do indeed work together and fit inside a mass movement of the working class after figuring out what theory you need and leading the working class from scratch is like building legos is not a mark of being a complete dweeb.
Especially when a lot of people who have never even read theory from previous revolutions before are probably completely new to that sort of thing in general and have no frame of reference.
In short I’d really like chapos to shut the fuck up.
It's not easy even if efforts weren't being consciously targeted against. It's a big fight - we're asking for the world and nothing less.
We are in a regime of low profit and incredible precarity in the imperial core. The situation is excellent for radicalization and the empire is weakening and confused abroad and at home. The timeline is short and shortening, we have essentially only this decade to overthrow capitalism and usher in production for social and ecological need or we will shoot well past 2 degrees of warming and there will be nothing we can do besides make the mass equivalent of hospice care for global civilization and the vast majority of the global population. What history is demanding of us and where we seem to be in terms of capability is... disappointing.
But there's nothing to do but try, I guess, do your best. Join an org, whichever you vibe with, or gather some of your like-minded friends in an affinity group. Do your best to aid other efforts, for example supporting or door knocking for demsoc candidates, going to protests against police violence, sharing with your neighbors, bailing out anarchists, going to public lectures put on by MLs, and so on. Don't get overloaded, but yeah we need people to actually be doing stuff and trying stuff or we are doomed.
