The only way is through earning their confidence, and that is a hard thing to do, but is where we must put our effort of investigation, it does not matter if we have the best revolutionary project, which is a matter heatedly debated among the various lines of Marxism, if none of us can reach the people, the important part for now is figuring out how to cut through nearly a century of propaganda, and then we figure out where we go, this is the hard task at hand for today
Yeah that is for sure, the spontaneous view is deeply mistaken indeed, and it makes me happy to know that it was mostly a vent, but I need to caution you comrade that it does not necessarily reads as such and there are more than a few so called comrades that do harbor resentment to the people, and they can find validation in such posts, so I felt necessary, and hopefully informative to some to respond like that.
That is the shape of the issue, the moment that we feel as enemies of the people we are screwed the issue is finding out how to revert that thought, and often it only happens when we get close to people, and if you do, you will probably realise that they will agree with the fact that their work is important and undervalued, that things suck for them, but they also have a dream of not suffering anymore, and they only see the form of that by becoming rich and they understand instinctively that the ending capitalists ends the possibility to become rich and that scares people kills their hope, that is a false hope indeed but it’s their only hope that they know.
So it’s our job offer another hope another way of understanding the world, and I don’t know how it was your journey into communism but many communists once held liberal, or another, capitalist way of thinking, it is natural we are born into capitalism, it’s important not to take it out on the people the schemes of the system
I thought the fact that he had been shot a few times before was a very relevant factor for that
Could anyone explain?
The solution is simple, you do a public consultation, with particular focus on the people of NYC, with debate and propositions, and what the people feel it’s best is to be done, quite simple in my oppinion. Since to my eyes it’s not an inherently reactionary symbol, so I’d say the people should decide on a post revolutionary NYC
I would think that China will never sign it, because I think this would be swiftly weponized against China(as you’ve said) with claims of genocide in Xinjiang and human rights violations in Tibet and all the same old westen song and dance, so I feel they’ll just run things their way, plus they don’t need this PR right now I’d wager, I think they are moving well towards their goals without the need to expose themselves to this kind of attack. So overall I don’t think they gain a lot doing it and stand to lose a bit, plus this PR you say is validation by the western powers, and I don’t think China is too worried with that validation as it’s much more worried with presenting themselves as an alternative to the western powers to the global south, so being more connected to them does them not too many favors
The recent post about Vietnam donating to Cuba, is the reverse Castrobucks
Yeah I think we are in agreement comrade, I just like to point out this things when I see a post on the subject because I’ve seen far too much people associate any attempt of improving the now (from the part of any socialist individual or organization) with a commitment with a inherently reformist agenda, so I like to leave the more expanded idea when I see a short communication about it, just to promote the broader vision a little
Easy there it’s not correct to say it is nothing but a distraction, if you make it the focus of your project for sure, but however possible we should try to make the changes possible that would help the working class, but of course that does not mean to adhere to their program but it is important to look at what improvements can be achieved. But never celebrating these folks as heroes or celebrating as a magnificent win it is a small comfort but far from the cure, and can distract, but can bring about some degree of help, the important part is to know that however much help that is, it’s always woefully insufficient. But help should never be discarded completely, even if ultimately in many cases we refuse the instances of incrementalism it’s important to know that it comes with a cost, because much of the people who would benefit a little right now, cannot see the possibility of a revolution ever working, but they want some improvement, in such case being against incrementalism can have a very significant impact on gathering support of who we most need on our side.
It’s not the dogs fault, they didn’t have a say in the matter
The one about revolution that says, “It will come, and it will bring bread, but also poetry”, is quite inspired as well. Trot had his moments, and he must be respected by his work on the revolutionary and I believe the Russian “civil” war, as a general, which he was and for what I know a competent one. It’s important to remember the figure as a whole, even though he deserved every bit of the pickaxe
Yeah Vargas is a tricky subject because in one hand he fucked the communists over, but on the other he promoted incredible advances for the working class, so he is complicated
It’s missing the Vietnam war the Korean war, cointelpro(in the USA) operation gladio in Italy (was not a massive death toll but prevented communists to be elected in Italy). And in Brazil there was another one under president Vargas that instituted the task force of communist hunting, that preceeds operation condor as well
Just wish it could allow horizontal tabs
What does tailist mean?
I like the juche symbol as well, very nice
