Since this is at the top of active, take notes on how the alt-right radicalizes casuals. We could stand to learn a thing or two on how they reached casual right-wingers to help us with radicalizing liberals. :P
Lenin built a proletarian state out of the ashes of the first world war, the ruin of the civil war and all capitalist invasion then a famine in 1921
By 1922 close to 25 million had died as a result of the above
Stalin was to continue living having experienced what Lenin did
In 1933 he would witness the eugenics movement reach its peak with fascist states forming everywhere
He went ahead and built socialism in the 1930s anyway.
He knew what was at stake in 1931 when he stood up and said
“We are 50-100 years behind the capitalist nations. We must close that gap in 10 years. We do it or they crush us.”
Sure enough the Soviets closed the gap and ten years on the dot the Germans invade
Stalin would then watch the slaughter of his people. 27 million soviets dead in world war 2
To top that off the US drops nuclear bombs on two civilian cities and Churchill was trying to convince the Americans to rearm the Werhmacht and invade the Soviet union. “If Stalin refuses we can blot out Soviet cities one by one” he said, referring to the new nuclear bombs in a plan he called Operation Unthinkable
By this time Stalin has seen close to 50 million Soviet people die in world war 1, the civil war and world war 2 alone
In 1950 he would watch the US invade the North of Korea off a casus bellis of a border conflict to commit a horrific atrocity of murdering 20% of the koreans in the north. He sent soviet weaponry and troops despite the endless death the Soviet people had seen since 1914
Imagine if he just gave up in what seemed like hellish and absolutely nightmarish conditions
On top of that, IIRC up until shortly before WWI Lenin lost his brother and he revolutionary comrades were limited to just a few dozen people.
Imagine if Lenin had given up
Communism will always win. Do your part by getting organized, radicalizing libs, and getting armed. The mutual aid and donating community is up and running, so help each other out where possible too. Take care of your comrades. O7
Communism isn’t inevitable though, it supposes civilization doesn’t collapse entirely in a few years, which will almost surely happen at some level. At best will have the chance to rebuild the world from its ashes, at worst, we won’t even be there anymore. But I do appreciate your enthusiasm.
A lot of people with genuine mental health problems wind up in the “Doomer” category at no fault of their own. Maybe don’t scold them as cowards.
I never scolded people with mental health problems, I have my own slew of mental health problems as well. Laying down and being a doomer does nothing to help those who are suffering, though. If you read through the comments there are objectively other things that you can do to get involved regardless of circumstances. Every contribution counts, even if it’s just radicalizing people through memes. What you do today can help us tomorrow, friend.
Source: I was radicalized through memes only a year and a half ago and now I’m trying to get the mutual aid and donating community off the ground here. You do what you can and every contribution counts.
I have genuine mental health problems and I’m not a doomer. Don’t fucking speak for me.
“WAHHHHH I KNOW THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE HUMAN SUFFERING AND THAT FASCISM IS REALLY TAKING CONTROL OF OUR SOCIETY BUT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT REQUIRES SO MUCH EFFORT SO FUCK YOU AND FUCK THEM.”
Imagine accepting defeat this hard instead fighting for the society we all discuss here. We’re leftists because we want to help and provide for people, not sit by idly watching them fucking suffer. Like, if you’re just going to sit there in a puddle of your own tears negatively critiquing the efforts of others, you’re probably a liberal, y’know?
