>>2889483Not totally true. You got your CPUSA types, your PSL folks fine, whatever, they show up, they hold their little signs, they go home. Boring. Legal. Not my problem, not really LARPING though. They appear to be directly what they are.. activists.
But then you got these other whack jobs like the Maoists, the anarchists, the ultra-left nutjobs, and all those internet edgelords who think they're Che reincarnated. These guys? Total headcases. They ain't interested in the long game. They don't wanna punch a clock, pay taxes, or do the boring grind like the rest of us schmucks. Nah, they want the power right damn now. They see themselves as generals, not workers. It’s a classic petit-bourgeois fantasy they think they're too good for a working class "normy" life, so they'd rather burn the whole damn city down than wait their turn. they dont have wives, kids, normal jobs, no no, they dont want to be workers at all. their entire resistance is a petite-bourgeiose rebellion against an economy pushing them to the working class.
And let me tell you, that "revolution now or death" mentality? That’s not ideology, that’s a tantrum thrown by the sons and daughters of those who were built up to be privileged, but lost that privilege. They can't stand that other people have power they were promised, so they'd rather blow everything up and rule over the rubble. They form these little splinter groups just so they can be the big fish in a puddle-sized pond, giving out orders and feeling important. It’s a power trip, plain and simple. Thats my theory.
Honestly? The whole thing attracts the most unstable people you'll ever meet. We're talking serious mental cases folks who should be getting help, not hoarding rifles and writing manifestos. They're confused, angry, and desperate for a purpose, so they latch onto this garbage. Mark my words, you give these punks an inch, and they'll start a civil war just to feel alive for five seconds before they eat a drone strike, but hey, better than being a normy right? because deep down these types arent the working class they think theyre better than them.
