I heard in a podcast that the main difference between a communist and a socialist is only the means of getting there. The end goal is the same, but communists think it can only happen through violent revolution.

Sometimes you get what comes around.

Notice how "shitposting agitprop" was not listed as a secondary choice aside from "violence"? (because it only helps you feel better about ignoring the problems in society.)

Good luck gaslighting yourself into thinking you're helping, Ozma.

Remember the mid to late 00s? Remember how much fun everyone was having making comedy themed music? Between FotC and Jon LaJoie, Key of Awesome and Epic Rap Battles of History, and Weird Al still very much active, it was a good time for OC.

No... by wisdom and strategy.

by wisdom

The wise man once said, "Ow! My nose! Owie ow ow ow! He hit me right in the face!"

and strategy

Ever try to win a chess game without taking a single piece off the board?

Lot of delusional people out there on both sides who think that an armed uprising is actually viable and would lead to better outcomes.

As if we wouldn't have to share the country with the other half of people who don't want you to uprise shit and will hate you even more if you try.

No, you don't want an uprising. You don't even want to get off the couch, so lets stop lying to ourselves. You want better management of the system so you don't feel so hopeless and tired that you rather just melt into the couch every day.

We got here because they made you unwilling to get involved in your community and your local politics. If everyone cared more for changing their local communities, then we would have a much better federal system with our rights being upheld. You don't kick money out of politics on a federal level, you do it town by town, county by county, state by state. But most people are so lazy that they think they can sit inside as everyone does an armed revolt outside and then the world will be better.

Nah dog, you gotta get out and make changes with the tools we have. Stop believing in magic.

i agree that wisdom and strategy have their place in violent movements. any violent movement without those two key ingredients is doomed to fail.
