right, whenever I point out that the US does have feudal landlords of the same sort, they tell me of course it doesn't.
thinking I'm trying to point to like, someone who owns 3 two-family houses, and not human trafficking farm owners who use the threat of calling ICE to keep people under their control
not that I think the maoist tactics can work the same, but like, it's not that dissimilar in a lot of ways.
the maoist study groups make a lot of sense to me compared to parliamentary left orgs
at least most of the maoists can read lenin's sarcasm as sarcasm instead of diktat, unlike the orgs that think we should elect people to 'contest parliament'
i never see anybody talk about organizing undocumented workers (commentary on me as much as the spaces i am in tbh) and like, your tech salaried types might fund a revolution but they arent gonna win it. i am pessimistic on the idea of revolution here until circumstances permit enough break down of the social order that the least enfranchised can exploit; mass politics is not direct action and probably will require the core to absorb more of the effects of climate change before it is feasible
yep, and also like. idk it feels like no one is willing to do the math on this and realize what they're up against and where they actually need to build instead of the pagentry.
the active US activist left is less than a third of a percent of the US population, extrapolating to volunteers and people who're on board but not like, actively trying to learn that's maybe 2-3%.
but you don't need much to bring people towards the level of tactics and pol-ed/background/context/whatever that third of a percent has, people just don't see their job as pedagogical, they see themselves as revolutionaries.
the historical revolutionaries didn't see themselves as leading one until it was already well in motion, and the only reason they're remembered in history is they wrote things down that people learned from...
