  • I don't know if this is an ultra leftist take or just a regular leftist take but I keep hearing how only changing material conditions will bring about social change in the US. But then why the heck are we even bothering to read theory and talk about it with people?

    Another take is that communists should be supporting countries that the west is most profiting from via imperialism, and help those countries fight back against imperialism, which would lead to changing conditions in the west. And like okay, I guess we can do that but not everyone can just go travel and be a professional revolutionary, so again, are communists in the states supposed to be doing something or patiently waiting?

    What's your best take on this?

    • You reading theory and telling it to other people is changing material conditions. That's dialectics baby.

    • patiently waiting? Americans are literally getting poorer with each day. The "patiently waiting time" should have been spent establishing infrastructure for a vanguard party aka organizing, creating an alternative cultural pole/media, independent financing, safehouses, making connections with important power nodes (aka infrastructure), finding the audience (its not whole food leftists in urban areas)

      But instead energy was wasted scolding, watching breadtubers and coping that the THIS "socialist" (socdem) will tots make the democrats into a vanguard party. We are still not over this. And there is an increasingly large population of alienated and angry americans looking for answers and none is there to galvanize them into a succinct revolutionary movement because the american left are idealists and utopians at best. Hell they were shocked and devastated about contra points turning out to be reactionary or "let people enjoy things" when "purist" rained on their mamdani parade - described by some as the result of "marxism planted in the hearts of americans" are you for real?
