yeah really lmao
trying to convince people of socialism where i live is like pounding your head against a brick wall
cuz i live in a middle-class suburban neighborhood
It's the social aspects that people package with socialism that are unappealing
as most are out of touch with todays generally accepting and socially equal society
The real selling point for any white blue or black collar area is the decay of capitalism and the failing system around them
i always thought of it more as a difficulty of coming to terms with hard, depressing truths about the world we live in
most white families are slowly sinking out of the middle class and are trying to really on old systems which succeeded in the past at giving them reasonable legislature
ie the Republican party and conservatism in general
while simultaneously denying other groups that they dont much care about any say
i.e. the alt right
*care much about
Really the problem with marketing socialism now is the name itself
there are too many pissants who don't know anything about any form of Marxism and just want free stuff
and people who think socialism = they want my toothbrush
that's why i tend to refer to specific ideologies first and socialism/communism later
for example, when i talk about my beliefs, while i believe myself to be a socialist/communist first and a trotskyist second, i still open with the term trotskyism as not to instantly turn people off
Leon Trotsky makes me hotsky
ayyyy
out of the 3 big boise of the Russian Revolution he's probably my favorite
Mao was pretty cool to though
yeah he was alright
I think in the end all these figures failed in the long game though
and for the most part I think moving forward anything like the authoritarian communism of the past is going to be a relic
yeah thats why i try to adapt trotsky's theories for the modern day
Invade India the most applicable one
oof
I think Trotsky was a little too ideologically idealistic and a tad bonkers but my god that man could have gone far if it weren't for a certain ice pick wielding mustachioed menace
well hey, when you have 3 flawed leaders you can't be too
***p i c k y***
but yeah the dude was the best kind of crazy
there's a vid by alternate history hub that, while not getting most of the stuff right, nails trotsky
here it is
yeah authoritarian communism wont work again
this time we gotta bait and switch the workers harder goyim
oof
Lol
I think in this day and age however a little bit of authority can go a long way
yeah
