"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.

"Westerners" are not a class. You are bastardizing the word to the point of uselessness. May as well be calling humans a class that oppresses other primates.

My "white sensibilities" are not offended; what is offending me is your Vulgar Marxism that conflates CPUSA's pro-settler ideology with the entirety of the American Left. I didn't even mention the CPUSA and I don't care for them. I accused you of being a campist and race reductionist because that's what you're doing: making excuses for Chinese billionaires and placing race over class in a hierarchy of analysis instead of treating them as equal forces.

You say white is a social relation, you say it can be dismantled, yet you categorically dismiss the idea multiple times previously and assert that socialism in the West is pointless in what is very clearly Third Worldist drivel. Your analysis isn't productive; it is divisive. No one is going to deny that workers in the Core have it better than workers in the Periphery. No one is going to deny that this privilege makes it harder to persuade Core workers to socialism since they are used to better conditions. But to treat it like its a hopeless cause is defeatism.

What exactly do you expect comrades in the West to do? You seem convinced that we can't actually do anything useful to contribute to the international movement so should we just give up or runaway to AES states or what? Like, what is the point of saying all this stuff? What practical purpose does this kind of analysis serve?
