Marxism_Sympathizer [none/use name]

Nobody is expecting you to be the next Che Guevara, or dedicate your entire life to the cause - that’s absolutely fine, doesn’t stop you being a communist

i think we should be. that is the level of dedication we need from communists to actually win, and if you cant give that, it’s absolutely fine like you said, just dont pretend to be a communist and muddy the waters. call yourself a sympathizer, a fellow traveler, etc. this doesnt mean don’t organize either! that is what mass orgs are supposed to be for, people who are sympathetic to the cause but cant dedicate themselves to becoming true communists. say what you will about PSL, but like i think that is why their stuff like PYM is brilliant because it’s actually attempting to have mass orgs for people to work with.

I think “dooming” is stupid yes, but this is again because most people doing so arent actually communists attempting to do serious analyses

ACP’s strongest soldier or…?

it’s because a ton of people both here on hb and elsewhere online shouldnt be describing themselves as “revolutionary communists” but as sympathizers. copy pasting something i said in another comment: i dont think it’s actually right to call myself a marxist/communist/revolutionary, i am not really educated nor dedicated enough, but i generally agree with the ideas so i call myself a sympathizer. i wish more people would do this online, because i see way too many arguments about very basic shit from people claiming to be marxists that need to stop distorting the term

i thought the peacekeepers were also really shady, just a shitshow all around

I think it’s the same thing behind doomer-type rhetoric about how the government is about to “really crackdown” or that you’re going to get arrested for being a commie or whatever.

somewhat, but i think it’s also not entirely unjustified paranoia because the state has shown it is willing to infiltrate and try to crush even the most tiny marxist reading clubs let alone actual big orgs

are americans cops even that highly trained, the body armor seems like a way bigger problem to me

I humbly request that you include this meme in the essay comrade

alternatively making the meme with an iraqi communist might be ever funnier

i love that meme so much

they’re saying the c/news mods are the best to ever do it, folks

seems like a complete fumble then lol

i know you have thought they’ve been marshaling forces behind the front lines for awhile, is this still your view or did they already bring them to the front?

appreciate the link along with the high effort comment!

same as like the last year then?

i’d be curious to see if they say similar things in spanish. most of this stuff is always in english because they’re communicating with their actual base, wealthy/formerly wealthy venezuelans who can speak relatively good english and are implicitly being promised a part of this pie if they manage to take down the PSUV. however if most poorer venezuelans cant speak much english (which is usually the case in global south countries), you could put out propaganda in spanish targeted towards the poor to try and diminish their support for Maduro’s government

@Redcuban1959@hexbear.net do you know if corina and her orgs act similarly in spanish language interviews as they do in english language ones?

I have not kept up with the ukraine SMO for some time now. apparently russia is very close (~1-2 km) to fully encircling a large part of the ukrainian armed forces in and around povrosk? how long has this battle been going on for, how is the rest of the front doing? are we finally beginning to see the beginnings of the end for ukraine, because i thought there was almost nothing behind povrosk until the dnieper or something like this

wait wtf that is one of the craziest things ive ever read ???

thats what i was thinking too, i did this for my roommate several times when i was in a dorm, only time i said no was if i had a test i needed to study for or something like that lol

how are the trots doing? obviously not good electoral results but theoretically they should be putting much more of their efforts into building dual power, they making any headway on that or…?
