Now I love boiling down the pitfalls of modern western society into large statements like "capitalism bad" and "communism good" as much as anyone, but having dealt with a bunch of people dismiss good change as "that's communism" has made me rethink how I talk about topics online and in person.
Now the accelerationist are gonna be mad about this for sure, but maybe you should start small, and discuss topics at a more local level. Then again the internet is world wide and everyone wants to talk about grand scale things.
Basically, I've stopped telling people outside of my direct circle that leftism cool, and instead talk about socialised medicine programs, pushing for support of worker owned productions and business, getting involved with coop housing. Lot easier when you don't have to bump up against the red scare.
You’d be hard-pressed to find accelerationist Marxist-Leninists. That’s more often found in anarchist circles.
(But at the same time, we think that incrementalism/reformism won’t work. Rosa Luxemburg: Reform or Revolution)
What are some local examples of coop housing, worker-owned business and production, etc that you’ve pushed for?
(If you don’t mind doxing yourself with the local details that is)
