>>2435944FRIENDLY REMINDER TO FILTER GLOWTARDS 550 posts and 135 image replies omitted.>>2438536>I mean, yeah, but Communism is a constant struggle.And the struggle gets worse when reactionaries are coddled, and not crushed.
>but I'd prefer a society with 10% CommunismNot how this works.
>>2438537>they are pragmaticists who don't think in terms of ideologyThe only thing pragmatic about the “apolitical” is how the bourgeoisie utilize them.
>just do the actual work of examining social problems and figuring out realistic solutions one problem at a time.You didn’t speak of this. You spoke of irrational concessions to reactionaries.
>>2438539The proletariat yearns for revolution. Leadership is another thing entirely.
>>2438547>this is such a dumb annoying take. you have to meet people where they're atAnd where are they exactly? Do tell.
>if the American proletariat is mostly working class,>fairly religiousIn a downturn
>and largely multicultural rather than monocultural>then what are you gonna do?What I’ve been doing the past several years until I finally hit that breaking point.
>>2438553>In a downturn Sure but you can't just wait 50 years for Christianity to die out. People are suffering now. And even then, while Christianity is dying, Islam is growing and is just as homophobic.
I'm not suggesting we capitulate to bigotry but simply build political power first at least before going full mask off. You gotta appeal to your audience and build a large support base before tackling social issues that will naturally rub a lot of people the wrong way if you don't build their trust first. Being a reactionary is not a failing on that person's part but a failing of the system that raised them. A lot of people fall victim to liberal propaganda even without meaning to, and you can't treat them like they're your enemy if you want to make progress tbh.
>>2438558NO
NO RIGHTS
NOBODY GETS RIGHTS
NOBODY GETS ANYTHING
I'm huffing and puffing and stomping my feets ooooh I'm so MAD
>>2438556Not by any sort of left. Or the right. Or the center.
>>2438561>Sure but you can't just wait 50 years for Christianity to die out.Don’t have to.
>Islam is growing and is just as homophobic.Not enough to counter the shrinkage.
>I'm not suggesting we capitulate to bigotry That’s exactly what you are saying
>but simply build political power first at least before going full mask off.I already have political power. And not going mask off is simply what a communist would not do.
>You gotta appeal to your audience and build a large support base before tackling social issues that will naturally rub a lot of people the wrong way if you don't build their trust first.My audience is not a bunch of reactionaries who want to be babied. And the popularity of gay marriage isn’t something I’m concerned about at all.
>A lot of people fall victim to liberal propaganda even without meaning toAnd yet I can already see you wish to appeal to the worst of the lot.
>and you can't treat them like they're your enemy if you want to make progress tbh.Of course I can. I literally have to.
>>2438575Yeah that's probably the case, but even so if you have this much resentment in you, whether justified or not, then you're better off keeping to yourself and not poisoning whatever org you join. Communism isn't about fighting humanity, it's about fighting Capital. Whatever perceived or experienced bigotry lead you to being this jaded is something you have to deal with before you can be an activist, honestly.
>>2438585>Why bother educating the massesYou call it educating but what you're really doing is just preaching a gospel with no room for argument or discussion or compromise. Education generally involves a back and forth dialogue. Instead you just want a religion. Your own neuroses has lead you to a path where your own ideology is infallible and everyone else around you is just a fool waiting to be enlightened by your intelligence. It's kinda cringe tbh.
>>2438524He kind of revealed the point when he talked about Joe Slovo's funeral.
>"That's no white man, that's Joe Slovo!"I'm pretty sure at the end of the day he wants to be "one of the good ones" or something.

>Enter Ka Daisy, 26, a trans woman, an NPA guerrilla, a martyr. She carried a makeup kit in her pack, taught her squad literature and math between ambushes. Barangay Tapi, April 27th—five government battalions closed in. She fought, fell, became a name etched in the revolution's heart. "As an LGBT youth, our role is important in advancing revolution," she said. "To change society's views, we must change society herself." Rest in power, Ka Daisy.>>2438524The point is to do something for someone other than yourself and right history's greatest wrong. The point is to destroy America, by any means and at any cost necessary.
>>2438596It must be hard for a white nationalist like yourself to imagine something like that, isnt it? The idea that anyone would betray your precious Volk and act for the good of humanity instead of just their race.
>>2438604It reminds me of when hazbin hotels insist there's a huge uncounted youth/minority voting bloc in Texas that will turn it blue every election cycle. And then it never materializes and they just blame voter suppression.
If you're gambling on activating an invisible demographic you've already lost. This is why DSA cannibalizes the Democratic party instead of trying to reach out to non-voters, as an electoral party trying to achieve victories through elections they target people that vote. Conversely, if you want to start some kind of Left-wing militia you need to appeal to the people that already have guns, the people that already are fighting ICE, the people that already engage in militant activism online. Usually those are pretty isolated regional groups that all have their own separate beliefs, not necessarily intersectional. There's literally Marxist Catholics in South America and Marxist Muslims in the Middle East and they all have their own beliefs. Communism is not one size fits all.
>>2438606Correct. It is however a sign of abandonment of religious authority at the very least.
This however…
>But, despite these signs of recent stabilization and abiding spirituality, other indicators suggest we may see further declines in the American religious landscape in future years.>Namely, younger Americans remain far less religious than older adults.>For example, the youngest adults in the survey (ages 18 to 24) are less likely than today’s oldest adults (ages 74 and older) to:>Identify as Christian (46% vs. 80%)>Pray daily (27% vs. 58%)>Say they attend religious services at least monthly (25% vs. 49%)>And the youngest adults are more likely than the oldest Americans to be religiously unaffiliated (43% vs. 13%).>Also, younger Americans are less likely than older adults to say they were raised in religious households.1 And, compared with older adults, fewer young people who were raised in religious households have remained religious after reaching adulthood.https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/decline-of-christianity-in-the-us-has-slowed-may-have-leveled-off/ NEW THREAD
