RomCom1989 [he/him, any]
Jesus,posting isn’t praxis
Just because people can get radicalized through the internet,that doesn’t mean posting by itself is some revolutionary act
At most,it’s another medium through which to spread the ideology,but is no where near anything actually impactful in the real world if it’s not accompanied by boots on the ground stuff
I understand where you’re coming from,but random internet posters pontificating online is nothing like the discussions going on between radical revolutionaries in the previous century, especially considering that the America of today and the Europe of then are two radically different settings, with a giant chasm separating the material conditions and the degree of radicalization from then to the material conditions and radicalization of now
I mean,don’t get me wrong,it’s getting there,but to want to put a pause on direct action so we can navel gaze and comb over every imperfection isn’t exactly a winning strategy
No,they do,but I’m in the same boat as you are and I disagree with the premise
I certainly sympathize with this way of viewing things,but it seems a bit undeveloped on account of you being so young
Still,maybe you’re right and this way of viewing things will be more effective in the future,but even I,as a fellow young’un myself,I find it to be a erroneous way of viewing things
I think this is an erroneous way of looking at things
I am not American,but in my opinion the first factor has more to do with active state suppression of radical leftist figures rather than just simple rot within the party structures of these organizations
The second I can agree with
I will preface this by saying I am equally not well versed in theory, but i don’t think you can just copy what Lenin did back then and have it work in the here and now
Also,this is the CIA we’re talking about,I’m not saying that maybe something more couldn’t have been done,but it was kind of a done deal, especially by the end of the cold war
Those are actually calcified floral arrangements
