    Lenin said, “Only simpletons put faith in words.” (https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1914/jun/09.htm) This is the root of the discussion when it comes to “lawfulness”.

    Your ideas of the violently rebelling “right now” doesn’t quite make sense. In the US, the white “proletariat” is still benefiting for the capital extraction occurring in the global south as Sakai has explained. This, as long as it is happening, will impair the development of class consciousness. A rebellion without class consciousness will not be substantive rebellion. It would either be pointless or adventurist.

      Only morons listen to extremists about other extremists. - Me, now.

      Tired of people putting faith in alt-left historical shitlords like Lenin.

        Lenin was one of the most important figures in creating the first Socialist State, I think we should at minimum learn from his experiences and thoughts to see what we should copy and what we need to change.

        I’ll maybe take your thoughts on Lenin seriously when you accomplish anything even comparable to what he did. Until then, you can sit around and feel superior over individuals who brought about earth-shattering change created through the correct analysis of the conditions that he saw.
