"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

I decided to not be bitter and i followed a liberal influencer for like a week (they dont make political content usually) but today they posted that BULLSHIT about how trump is causing wars as a cover for the files and i had to unfollow. nobody is starting wars over that, theyre starting wars for capital and resources.

what the fuck is a ”eipstein class”? just those guys on the files? are the billionaires who refused or were not invited alright with you?

and of course the religious zealots doing the bit about how eipstein was satan incarnate while churning out money for their pastor to buy a new mansion.

the prolecattleiat is not being elevated to sapience by this situation alone. people have to read theory which is why i encourage them to do so. libs, anarchists and conservatives have the balls to talk about how mao, stalin and other leaders were also pedophiles or ray peests so communism is not worth it either so we just need a matriarchy as if a capitalist system would be fine if women were in charge.

Rainbow Coalition Failed. Why?

COINTELPRO and direct federal repression and assassination of key members. Understanding the governmental response to the Rainbow Coalition is vital for any contemporary movement. That's the entire purpose of socialist experiments. Though using your logic, the Soviet Union failed, so socialists should never again set up a socialist state. A completely nonsensical logic.

intersectional class unity Consider intersectionalism is not marxist. Eg trans emancipation is not add on-to fighting imperialism it is intrisic to fully understanding how capital works

I genuinely have no clue what this sentence is trying to say. From what I can understand, saying that intersectionality is not Marxist is so bizarrely incorrect that all I can say is that you are deeply unserious.

There are more than enough “anti-capitalists” who evoke such sentiments without being marxist-leninist. That sentiment without the science is what leads to “pro-palestinian” westerners saying gazan proleteriat should unite with Israeli proleteriat against the “elite”. (To which the correct response to that is: no you racist fuckhead the israeli jewish proleteriat is part of that elite)

You are fighting a complete strawman here and conflating the material conditions and societal realities of two vastly different situations.

  1. Consider the autodynamism of dialectical materialism and how the CPC learned from the Soviet's mistakes. The wolves have teeth are a given, we have to learn how to defend against them from previous mistakes.

  2. on intersectionalism: it was deliberately developed in bourgoise acadaemia to evade how marxism is emancipatory for "minorities"

  3. You are fighting a complete strawman here and conflating the material conditions and societal realities of two vastly different situations.

Israeli apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide is entirley western in its charecteristics; the false division imagined between "Israeli' and US"American" is the gap you are afraid to close.

Again, you are arguing a strawman which was answered perfectly by amemorablename in their comment below. I am disengaging as this conversation is completely unproductive.

Our comrade isn't wrong. It's a painful truth, but we have to face our privilege and complicity.
