"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

He deleted his account but if you search AntipodeanPatr1 on Twitter it will show the threads he previously made and trans MLs like Leannenist called him out for transphobia.

The insane thing is that the polcomball post is 2 years old and somehow nobody knows the top mod has always been ACP my fucking god. Why is it always me who dig up these revelations when the users who have been there way longer somehow trust him enough to not check. Alexitine has been ACP from the start.

Many relying on pure trusting too much, lol. And I'm never bothering to privy into anyone posting history too so..yeah.

TBF, the original purposes of that sub is a splinter sub from the old TheDeprogram sub far before it got banned. which they claim the main sub is become too big tent leftists. (Some even said it became too liberal. Dunno who said that tho.)

I was on the r/TheDeprogram sub until its closure, it was pretty Marxist-Leninist although a few liberals were trying to post on it, they were getting removed.

My statement is really one big "Trust me bro" and relying on my hazy memories so take it as a grain of salt. However if you can digging old post in the Tankiedeprogrammed deeper enough. I think you can find some evidence that support my statement.

That certainly sound like what "conservative communists" would say tbh. No wonder the ACP connection. Yikes.

If I may comment on this and idk if I'm qualified I don't consider myself experienced enough, but nevertheless I've been lurking around places for roughly a decade now just observing people. I can't tell if I'm a bad observer or a bad communicator cause I often either get ignored or told to stfu, but I've had a really hard time holding a productive discussion in Marxist online spaces. Which is frustrating, but based on the texts I've read there's also nothing I can really do about it.

Honestly the thing that got me to "join' the movement is I've been trying to figure out how I can help people from my home. Many struggling and the only solace they can find is in a church that promises them happiness in the next life, because their current one is too bad, but I haven't been able to help them much so far and that obviously makes me a bad student. So the fault is probably on me here tbh.

I'm not naive I know I'm not meant for anything great. I wanna make sure everyone understands I am not big headed I'm just a tiny little pebble on the road for the real heroes, but my point is maybe we should find more tailored resources to study how we can be be happy about being a cog in a big machine and stop trying to be the next Mao or Lenin, because our material conditions prevent us from being such a people. It pains me to say this. I wish I could save the people I love, but that's just reality. I think we have a tendency to moralize too much and feeding each other false hopes, because nobody wants to be the bearer of bad news. And I'm scared that if we just hope for a big moment and aren't willing to do all the tiny things needed to make the moment happen, we're lost. If there's books in other languages I can try to squeeze in extra language learning and translation in my schedule. I should have enough lifespan left for it. Although I would appreciate if someone assisted me in translation efforts. I'm not that capable of an asset, bad enough no org wants me near them. Is it possible that my desire to assist my grandma and her friends/families makes me a reactionary? But I haven't been able to rid myself of these emotions and in that case I've failed.
