and the boomers fucked it all up like what the fuck Mao what the fuck Stalin why did you not just get along we had such a good thing going with so many goddamn revolutions and communist countries popping off if only you'd all worked together I wanna live in a communist world so bad.
Channel that shit! Make something productive from the anger. God I wish I could take my own advice but that shit can fuel you.
Oh I'm very much on the side of hatred being a fine motivator. I think it's pretty underrated as a reason to live. A lot of people adopt a Saturday morning cartoon idea of hatred and speak in platitudes about how you can't live with hate. But hatred is the most measured response to the shit that goes on in this world and the people who make it happen. You should be filled with hate for them. If you don't then I don't think you have really understood the stakes of all this.
Agree 100%. When your hate is pure it can fuel you. Honestly mine I feel like makes me a better socialist. There are people and actions in this world where the proper reaction is hatred. Like we should be hating racists, reactionaries, etc. etc. these are bad people who will harm you. But when I think about it, if there was a war between the right and left, I wouldn't torture right-wing pows. I'd feed them, clothe them, give them medical attention and send them back. That totally demoralizes the enemy.
Fun fact, that's exactly what Mao did during the revolution, and it worked exactly like that.
