It’s basically the new /r/GenZedong.

They should’ve done this way before this became a problem.

I’d like Nakoichi’s thoughts on this as well.

    The recent RevLeft New Years ep had a segment about how revolution requires revolutionary conditions, you can’t just convince a lot of people to do a revolution and then will it to happen on the lathe. Until the material conditions reach a point to actually allow a revolution you can only organize and prepare for the revolutionary moment, so that when it comes you can actually use that moment to do something.

    The BLM uprisings were a potential revolutionary moment, but there wasn’t an underlying organizational structure to actually do anything about it. Without cohesion, eventually the masses tucker themselves out, get it out of their system, and everything returns to normal.

      This is why the cia throws immense amounts of money at features of their reactionary revolutions intended to drag them out for as long as possible.

      Free food, free drink, stage, music, shows, etc etc. Everything to keep people in the revolutionary moment for as long as possible.

      Maidan is a very strong example of this. Massive amounts of money spent on things that were really just about making it “fun” to get the average people to stick around as long as possible and not lose the energy while the vanguard groups went about their plans.
