kind of incredible that most people are just sitting back and taking it.
Complete atomisation of a society is a hell if a drug. I say to comrades all the time, communists used to have the challenge of organising the community, our generation of commies has the additional step of actually creating a community to organise.
On the plus side, the task of creating a community comes with the opportunity to build it in our image, encoding our values into it's foundations
I guess what's tripping me up is that if there are people so disaffected by society that they are willing to murder children because 4chan told them it's cool, why is there not at least a higher prevalence of individuals who are willing to do the same thing to bankers, executives, politicians, etc.? I mean obviously there's one or two big ones here and there, but the ratio is WAY off, and it's not like people don't know who's fucking everything up, even if some people have been pointed the wrong way by propaganda, there's still surely at the least hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of Americans who are able to see the past the veil of red vs. blue nonsense to the glaring source of the problem.
It's not the same thing as building up a community or movement, I'm just amazed that we have such an excess of mass shootings but only one person who actually deserves it gets blasted, what, once every several years, if that?
Well honestly we have had two in the last two years, which is a better ratio than it has been.
Where's the modern day class traitors, who use their positions to lead the masses, the ones who funnel their wealth towards an alternative? I've known several wealthy libs in the West and most of them are consistently sad, they spend their life on consumption, these people could fix an issue I've been dealing with for more then a decade and it'd cost them less than one of their expensive bottles of Liquor. I'm not even asking for handouts. I've offered to help fix up their stuff that's been broken for decades, because they don't care for maintenance, but they'd rather buy another sugoiii katana desu. Not that any of them talk to me anymore, because they'd rather live in peaceful dreams.
Working on it
it's pretty easy to believe honestly. americans are miserable assholes who hate others and themselves, they'd rather die than talk to each other enough to organize a real resistance against capital
you sound like an asshole yourself, sir.
OK, but they're right.

There is only useless protests, book clubs and adventurism
Lenin started off as a member of a book club. Americans are so politically brain dead that honestly reading groups are about the level they are at. It would be a huge achievement just to get most to read a book or engage with any kind of working class theory.
But yes you need more than a book club. But most Americans aren’t even at THAT level yet.
A synthesis of those things together is revolutionary praxis tho
