Between pipelines getting jammed, the slow-motion general strike, protests everywhere all the time, Sheikh Jarrah, mass shootings every day, new covid strains in India, and just the general background noise of life getting worse and worse for almost everyone on the planet, it feels like someone tied a brick to the big “accelerate the contradictions” lever.
Anyone else felt this way lately?
There was a disaster every month last year, while covid raged the whole time. That used up all the remaining strength of the system, so now everything it was just barely holding back is seeping through. We need to start working hard now, because I believe this could be our big break. However, I have just barely read a little theory and have not really done any organizing, so feel free to ignore me.
No, you’re right. I don’t think this is the Revolution yet, but this is definitely the time to be organizing and educating. I’m right with you on trying to read more theory too; currently making my way through Mao’s Selected Works.
I think this could be it. We’ll never know until everything is over, but things look just about right right now.
