I think it's correct to feel that Hasan obviously isn't enough but I still think it's good he's bringing our talking points to the forefront. Of course I would rather have a real revolutionary but I hardly think having someone explaining our position to the masses is bad thing. No he's not Stalin or Lenin or even remotely close but he is at least saying mostly correct statements.
How will we ever gain mass support and create a mass movement if we are completely unwilling to talk to the populace of the nation?
As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say we are tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We know that when the people understand, they cannot help but follow us.
No I'm sorry, I think I was truly speaking out of turn. I haven't been in school for a while now, and I only experience some interactions with the younger generation. I think it was wrong of me to discredit the importance of the basics.
So, I can do it mentally, but it does technically take more effort and brain work than using the calculator. In this example it's obvious that we should be able to reason out the answer, but I would hardly say calculators are ever the problem. Ultimately they are a tool, and for most people knowing how to use a tool is good enough.
I always think of calculating triangles with sin cos tan, and the fact that we were taught how to use the calculator and only the calculator. I assume there is a long handed version you can do with pen and paper, and I assume you eventually know it if you study mathmatics, but for most people knowing how to use the calculator is probably sufficient.
And as we've learned now, they probably don't even know that.
Nobody cares about anything. Society is in a state of obviously rapid decline for the overwhelming majority, yet every change from our government has only accelerated the decline. These kids have no future. Society doesn't value educating them because they're feedstock for the capitalist meat grinder. Most of them will toil away in pointless jobs completely alienated from everything around them then die.
In educating the masses you will only teach them how bad a deal they have gotten and what steps may be taken to rectify it. They are more malleable and pacifiable stewing in their own ignorance. Decreasing education grows the lumpenproletariat.
Which makes no sense when you consider their commercial has a pizza shop owner allowing Copilot to handle his finances. It then shows how it is able to utilize it's magic powers to balance his books how he wants.
They do not understand nor care how other countries are governed. China is more democratic and fair than the US but we never hear anything about their process for selecting leadership or party officials. It doesn't "count" because it isn't liberal bourgeois democracy.
Furthermore, the issue is fundamentally not authoritarianism or dictatorships but who the regime benefits. Campaigns of slaughter or support hinge on whether they cooperate with western Capital. Oppress your populace, sell off all their resources and enslave them, and the West will support you indefinitely. Remove the colonialists, compradors, and foreign influence, then the bombs will begin falling.
The citizens in the West are racist too, of course, and that helps alleviate the moral quandary of indiscriminate death (they aren't real people dying.)
South Vietnam was a dictatorship. South Korea was a dictatorship. Almost every country in South and Central America has suffered this phenomenon. Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, the list goes on and on.
Liberals nominally care about the illusion of democracy, but their one true God will always be capitalism and private property.
