Attach yourself to the hip with the peoples’ movements. That can mean anything from immigrants rights, tenant and workers unions, community defense, mutual aid societies to student organizing and LGBTQ+ advocacy.
The point is to use your knowledge of Marxism to advance the struggle to levels impossible under liberalism, and then you win over people to Marxism through your practice.
You’re never going to win over people to Marxism by mere persuasion alone. You need to show them in real-life the scientific nature of Marxism.
Edit: For your specific case, you need to focus your efforts on a campaign. Use your knowledge of the local area to see what issue students care the most about and then organize around that issue. If people care about said issue and your outreach is good, people from the community will come forward and join you.
Edit2: When choosing an issue, the more existential it is to a particular constituency, the better. That’s how you get hard-working activists.
Seeing more people online openly disregard American propaganda on Xinjiang is very interesting to see in real-time.
This must have been how people felt like when the Tet Offensive destroyed the government narrative surrounding the Vietnam War, the narrative that the Vietnamese were eminently about to capitulate.
I can’t help but draw comparisons between the Tet Offensive and the Palestinian genocide. Both had the same effect of smashing American propaganda.
Not being able to own a home has been a very acute and visible example of capitalist decay for some time now… and this is a phenomenon which overwhelmingly effects young adults.
Older adults were able to buy their home for much cheaper back in the 90’s or 00’s. That is to say, older adults arn’t as financially desperate in relation to the youth. This influences the politics of individuals.
The NEP was characterized as state capitalist to differentiate it against the lower stage communist stage that was supposed to come afterwards. Lower stage communism was a particular definition for socialism used by Lenin.
Lenin would not consider the “Socialist Market Economy” to not be “socialism proper” i.e, not lower stage communist. However, he may consider the SME to be socialist in the same way that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was during the NEP… that is, aspirationally socialist (willingness to realize Communism) or a proletarian dictatorship.
An interesting fact I didn’t know was that concentrated solar is capable of being dispatched during nighttime. This means the energy created by this project is of high-quality.
Quantitative change will eventually transform into qualitative change. As in, this rapid development of the scientific capacity of the Chinese economy will eventually lead to a new economic stage which we’ve never experienced before. It seems to me that China will be able to fully realize the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The United States government massages the accounting behind it’s unemployment rate to cover up chronic underemployment. Yet you feel like you have the right to say other countries lie about their statistics? That’s textbook projection.
I have no empirical evidence to back this up, but the answer probably lies in the fact that socialist development consciously attempts to preserve social cohesion and promote pro-social behavior. In concrete terms, it’s generally easier to find community in socialist countries than in capitalist ones.
Fascism was always an idealistic ideology, facts have never got in the way of their feelings.
