if it doesn't i'm going to continue to be so unbelievably smug over how my "adventurism works" post seems to have been vindicated by this adventurism working
tbf nothing's happened, too early to take credit about allegedly being correct
lol yes the entire country having a cathartic orgasm over this CEO's death is nothing
civility poisoned "violence is wrong" handwringing liberals collectively clapping like seals over it is nothing
The revolution will not be upvoted.
Rofl, don't get me wrong, I WANT to see this actually start something. I was talking to my therapist in my session today about this and my whole "Americans only have a 4 year memory" spiel and like we've all seen this before with BLM and women's rights stuff and it always just fizzles out after a while because we are all too busy getting ground up from existing in a capitalist hellscape. But I will say, I haven't seen nearly this much focus on "class consciousness" as I have on literally all my socials as I have in the last week.
It's weird that it's such a part of anyone of us that has read theory, that seeing class consciousness get brought up from really any random group, whether it be the blue collar right, the libs, or the socialist-leaning that just haven't read Lenin or Marx, or whomever, that it actually almost feels promising. Like, we won't see a revolution because of this of course, but I think between this and this last election, maybe we will really see something happen amongst the prole.
The moment the majority of muricans realise that their pity wars against "the others" are nothing but distractions. When Nazi and leftist hold hand against in the fight against those that fuck them both equally raw, without caring for their ideology in the slightest. That's the moment change may happen. Cult vs cult, politics vs politics, straights vs lqbtq, white vs black, etc. It all doesn't matter to those who own you and milk you bloody.
The people have to be gathered in groups to fight other groups that are real and graspable. An enemy they can see. When one wakes up from that, change can occur.
But sadly legions of you guys are fighting for economic survival, there's not much time to ponder about life. Also by design.
Now dovnvote me for saying such blasphemous things 😁
Yes I’m sure the people who said adventurism wasn’t a route to a revolution will be owned by the updoots
