    It’s the narrative that will keep people going to work. History is allowed to repeat itself because people like you and I have failed in getting others to care or pay attention. It’s obvious to us. But at the end of the day; the left has failed in the west. It doesn’t matter if we’re correctly able to see the world for ourselves.

    We are losing the battle. But the war will wage beyond our lifetimes. We can only keep fighting. Don’t focus your anger at individual liberals. It is our job to educate them. This is that opportunity.

    You don’t need to turn everyone into a Marxist. You just need to them to have enough hatred for their ruling class to support us when the opportunity arises for change. Whether that’s in our lifetime or not.

      Nudging the shitlibs a degree, making them just a smidgeon less obedient. Just a fraction more likely to cause problems for their masters. It’s so important.

      Ride the train at rush hour. Talk to people. Maybe do something unthinkably cool¹.

      ¹doesn’t need to be difficult or huge. Just nudge the edges of possibility. For the MLM thing, maybe bring a keg of something good and seasonally temperatured on the train on Friday just after people get off work, one 8 oz cup per person. Arrange for one car on each train headed away from the parts of town people work to where the working class live to have live music-nothing loud, nothing edgy, but make sure the musician is competent.

      Lucky the left is much more diverse than just red-fash. There’s no point throwing one set of genocidal masters out for a second.

        When someone scrolls through your comment history to find a tongue-in-cheek comment void of all context. I was talking about his treatment of Nazis you idiot.

        It’s always so weird how leftist that use terms like “red-fash” always end up just defending the rights of Nazis to make their arguments. Well, not really weird. I know why. But, you should probably reflect on why that is.

            Advocating for forced re-education camps for Nazis. That was the context of the comment. It wasn’t advocating for the entire historical use of gulags or their forced labor.

            I’m open to your opinion of what to do with Nazis. But scrolling through my comment history to find an out of context comment to screenshot is just pathetic. I really doubt someone that does that is worth talking to.

            Edit: For those on the left. Let this be an example of the complete lack of history the average online anarchist understands. Not shitting on anarchist in the street. I literally walk with them every day and they are THE BEST comrades to have your back. But, this shit. Actually trying to do some reading as they spend half their waking hours commenting and posting. Well, they just literally end up defending Nazis without realizing it and then stop responding when called out.

        do you expect the fascists itching to kill you at the first opportunity to simply have a change of heart one day and lay down their guns? inevitably, violent reactionary groups will need to be dealt with. Wheezy is correct here.

          Thanks, even without the context of my comment that they screenshot, you’re still smart enough to realize what it was referring to. For some reason the leftist that use terms like “tankie” and “red-fash” always end up defending the rights of Nazis when you dig even slightly below the surface. I’m sure there is no coincidence there.

            What are you even saying here? What would be your solution to Nazis? Like, are you advocating for the mass slaughter of all Nazis after a leftist revolution? Or do you just give them all freedom to terrorize the nation? Seriously. I want to know what you actually think should be done with Nazis by whatever idea of a leftist nation that you have.

            You’re the one that was searching through my comment history for anything you could frame as “tankie”. So, I think I deserve an answer to what you actually think about my comment.
