The majority of so called “”“socialists””””
are essentially just liberals, people who believe in nothing but vague ideas of good and bad and have an entirely idealistic view of they way things should be.
The middle class (or at least those who are more comfortable and privileged) don’t actually have any understandings of class because they have been protected and sheltered all their lives, so they believe in stupid made up shit like post-left anarchism, fascism and social democracy (fascism) because ideas about revolution are a bit too scary for them as the rabid working class might steal their funko pop collection. They also probably genuinely believe that revolution will look like a big party where everyone will be nice to each other after.
I’m middle class myself and all my friends want to be things like actors or musicians, stuff that’s entirely selfish and not needed, as well as having the most luke warm takes about society, e.g: “we should just have less like pollution and stuff mannnn”
What purpose does the middle class serve aside from being annoying cattle and becoming poor

3 posts omitted. The movement in America, just at this moment, is I believe best seen from across the ocean. On the spot personal bickerings and local disputes must obscure most of the grandeur of it. And the only thing that could really delay its march would be a consolidation of these differences into established acts. To some extent that will be unavoidable, but the less of it the better. And the Germans have most to guard against this. Our theory is a theory of evolution, not a dogma to be learned by heart and to be repeated mechanically. The less it is drilled into the Americans from outside and the more they test it with their own experience–with the help of the Germans–the deeper will it pass into their flesh and blood. When we returned to Germany, in spring 1848, we joined the Democratic Party as the only possible means of getting the ear of the working class; we were the most advanced wing of that party, but still a wing of it. When Marx founded the International, he drew up the General Rules in such a way that all working-class socialists of that period could join it – Proudhonists, Pierre Lerouxists and even the more advanced section of the English Trades Unions; and it was only through this latitude that the International became what it was, the means of gradually dissolving and absorbing all these minor sects, with the exception of the Anarchists, whose sudden appearance in various countries was but the effect of the violent bourgeois reaction after the Commune and could therefore safely be left by us to die out of itself, as it did. Had we from 1864, to 1873 insisted on working together only with those who openly adopted our platform where should we be to-day? I think that all our practice has shown that it is possible to work along with the general movement of the working class at every one of its stages without giving up or hiding our own distinct position and even organisation, and I am afraid that if the German Americans choose a different line they will commit a great mistake.
>>795139shut the fuck up you fuckin fascist I'm going to splatter your brains across a wall with my shotgun you fucking hitlerite
>>795135Nah, look around you, violent insurrectionary revolution in the imperial core is a meme and way more idealistic, fascism and reformism seems way more pragmatic as alternatives in the face of 'capitalist realism'
>>795135There is nothing hitlerish about being well meaning but naive, and the alternative across the first world today is to be actively evil and retarded (see Trump)
