Maybe, idk if that's really true. I would say that in its context, the revolution was about as good as it possibly could have been. The articles of confederation had some actually good shit in it like automatic citizenship for first nations peoples, and the constitution that replaced it was wildly left for its time. The lack of a monarch definitely had much of colonial Europe clutching its pearls. It's basically been downhill ever since, though.
"Die Ereignisse von 1933 bis 1945 hätten spätestens 1928 bekämpft werden müssen. Später war es zu spät. Man darf nicht warten bis der Freiheitskampf Landesverrat genannt wird. Man darf nicht warten, bis aus dem Schneeball eine Lawine geworden ist. Man muss den rollenden Schneeball zertreten. Die Lawine hält keiner mehr auf. Sie ruht erst, wenn sie alles unter sich begraben hat."
~ Erich Kästner, 1958
Maintaining revolutionary optimism is important. The only thing certain is the passage of time, we must do our best to change the course of history so that it serves Humanity over Capital as best we can. Reading theory and organizing are still critical and still effective. If you want some place to start, I have an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list.
So langsam glaube ich wir müssten mal deutschen Geschichtsunterricht in den USA machen. Aber dann sehe ich wie so viele in Deutschland, die vermutlich deutschen Geschichtsunterricht hatten, hinter der AFD stehen. Und dann bin ich mir nicht mehr so sicher.
Thanks man, I only ever seen a video of this guy before dressed as and acting like Wario in court, what a fuckin' knob. Anyone who doesn't have time to watch the video, he definitely smacks his heart and throws up a sieg heil, twice
