It prevents you from realizing that you share problems with the vast majority, preventing many people from becoming class conscious. And if they do realise these problems they’ll gravitate towards individualistic solutions to systemic problems (for example: climate change is the consumers fault, just buy your way out of it), for which capitalism swoops in to provide a product/service to give the illusion of “I’m doing my part”.

It’s also unnatural and doesn’t go well with the fact that we were never supposed to live this way.

I think something along the lines of; Capitalism is unable to ever “win”. No matter how many communists you kill, how many of them you force to live under capitalism, or how many of them you force to “disavow” communism, you can’t kill the idea. The struggle never ends, dialectics tells us this very clearly: Capitalism is unable to solve it’s inherent contradictions, even if all knowledge of communism were to disappear, someone would inevitably bring it up again.

Or he would aggressively point at this picture with the quote over and over again.

Currently grappling with this question myself, germany has 2-3 small ML parties, but there is one that is revisionist and doesn’t support AES, but they have a bigger reach, higher budget and more (and more diverse) members

Since apathy and alienation are at an all-time high around here, I really don’t know what to do

Missing context, but they are trying really hard to bait you to respond. Even if they are acting in good faith, nothing you’ll say would persuade them anyway.

Waste of time imo

  • Israel tried to ally itself with the Nazis
  • literally everything Theodor Herzl has said, done and written
  • The ICJ ruling
  • IDF commanders citing and paraphrasing SS-Waffen commanders
  • watch the documentary (think it’s called “Birth of a Nation”), shows them laughing about the atrocities they commited
  • biggest open-air concentration camp

While writing this I realized you could probably just watch Hakims youtube videos about Palestine and Israel to get the major points

Frodo Baggins from Lotr, Hajime Hinata from Danganronpa 2

edit: Cloud Strife from the Remake comes to mind, though he doesn’t rank as high as the former 2

I feel this. After 6 years of work I’m about to decide what I’ll be studying. Saw the videos and heard the horror stories. Did all the sharing on social media (and still do) but it feels like it achieves nothing.

Spoke to a palestinian refugee 2 weeks ago who studied robotics. 5 years younger than me too. All his plans for his future are gone. And here I am planning for my potential future just like he did.

Only thing keeping me up is revolutionary optimism, which I basically recite like a mantra, like an idiom from a culture I don’t understand.
