There's something relevant, to put it in contrast of a more serious socialist establishment, quoting Xi: "The victory of the Long March teaches us that: with faith in our hearts, we have strength in our steps; without unbreakable ideals and beliefs, and without the strong support of lofty ideals and beliefs, it would be unimaginable to achieve the victory of the Long March."
The Deprograms collective ambition is to be poster boys, for westerners and western influenced audiences. There is basically 0 revolutionary potential in the west. Outside of isolated and largely abandoned inner groups, at least that's what the facts tell me. I suppose I used to be rather naive myself and years ago I would think people would have my back, but in retrospect I was extremely gullible, in truth majority of Westerners don't care about any of us. They largely agree with me and know they can't change it, so there's nothing lofty to grasp upon. I can guarantee you come economic hardship a large part of these people will disappear at best or turn on you at the worst. You can never trust a petite bourgeoisie. Collaborate with them when you can squeeze something out of them, but it's all transactional and reversable.
