  • People are not braindead that is a dangerous way of thinking about it it’s just that the propaganda machine of the enemy is really effective, we should not elect the people as our enemy, the day we do that we’re fucked, we should look at stuff like that and think what can be done to prevent that, even if just a little in some places, and the fact that many people are defending communism shows to me an improvement from a few years ago which this type of debate wouldnt even happen cause was more or less a consensus on the internet that communism sucks. So yeah careful, I’m aware it’s a jest but even jests must be thought about.




  • I have nothing but good words to say for the effort and enthusiasm comrade. But there are some issues in that way of thinking, it is extraordinarily difficult to outcompete the captalist companies, just look at popular Korea or Cuba, they could have something in the line of that zaibatsu that you describe, but the capitalist forces did not stood still, they did a blockade. Since they can do that to a whole nation imagine what they can do with a company. Furthermore it pressuposes something we do not have, the numbers to do such thing and to my eyes that’s where our focus should be, to keep a strong revolutionary Leninist line and to manage it to spread it, and that is done by mingling with the poorest parts of society learning with them being among the people, and figuring out how to apply the Marxist teachings to their reality and show them that we are for them. But few people are willing to do that, Marxism especially in the west is much more of an academic endeavour than a popular workforce one, and the further away we get from the masses more we leave the field open for facist ideas to take root. I think the best example of strategy we have in recent memory is the black panthers under Fred Hampton and the rainbow coalition, we cannot mimic that step by step but I think that the future revolutions in the west must learn from their actions of how to resonate within the masses.
