Hello friend, I totally feel where you’re coming from but you have to make sure you’re mad at the right things here. Remember, Engels’ parents were serial factory owners. I don’t mean to compare the two in quality, but if merely being born into wealth is a negative feature, then it was a negative feature of Engels too. I think the thing to be mad at is not being born into wealth, but being born into wealth and then squandering that power by not seeking to dismantle the class system with it.
She’s nineteen. At nineteen, I was a libertarian. Give her some time, if she’s already an anticapitalist and has this much reach and understanding, she has incredibly rare potential.
ok, sure, i guess. but being angry and writing letters to politicians doesnt really change anything. it can signal boost certain causes but what value does that have at this point?
She’s using her class privileges to inspire climate strikes, publically link climate change and capitalism, and communicate effectively with many parts of the population. Despite lib media claims, I think it’s clear she’s inspired a lot of people to be more critical. Honestly I’m not sure what more could be expected of her at this stage. Do you want her to be single-handedly driving tanks down Oxford street?
It does , writing letters is the most potent controll mechanism …
“Liberal Hegemony” is mostly maintainted by the writing of 400 insanly stupid letters which you send then to the one Media station that had the Audacity to air “Antisemite” Corbryn … or clips of RT … How do you think the Israel Lobby maintains the Narrative controll over its “victim role” ?
Eh, only if they’re a partner in the manufacturing consent ecosystem. They’re a good excuse for a media outlet to do things they were already leaning towards doing. Get a thousand people to send letters to CNN demanding they cover a third-party candidate more for the general election and watch how little letters matter.
I see her as a pipeline component. Sure, we’re way further down the leftism pipeline than where she’s at, but even if she only takes people from 0% leftist to 10% leftist, she’s making more people more leftist (on a global scale at that), and that is absolutely something the left will die without.
