I'm saying that you can't "pick up a gun tomorrow" in order to topple the whole system and even that requires action and force.

You have to build a movement, build dual power, etc. It's a long process. It's not about everyone just "stopping what they're doing right now."

Idk, maybe I'm being pedantic lmao

I think we're both being doomer. My point is our society has the ability to eradicate poverty; but decides not to. You're saying we cant make that happen currently. I agree.

Again, sorry if I come off as pedantic or argumentative.

I should clarify what I'm saying: it's not a problem of "society" (which puts the onus on the average proletarian) but the mode of production and the bourgeois power structure.

I think we will get rid of it eventually.

To me, it's not a matter of if, but when.

But I understand what you're saying and I'm sorry if you're feeling down.

But I think that the situation is not hopeless and so I don't mean to come off as being a "doomer."

Thank you. Not feeling down; I just think its something I forget to remember and others may benefit from a reminder. It doesnt have to be like this. We can do better. Also yes onus is on the Proletariat

Also yes onus is on the Proletariat
