We must do What Is To Be Done

wtf does abbott actually want to achieve here, surely this is pre-election showboating and not a genuine attempt to split texas from the union?

misconceptions about countries like […] Russia being imperialist (Lenin would agree with me btw)

god this website sucks ass sometimes. what about Russia’s advanced capitalist economy, complete with a developed finance sector, and its war to annex the resource/population-rich territory of Ukraine (contested by the NATO imperialist bloc), is not manifestly imperialist by the definition laid out by Lenin? how the fuck are South Africa more imperialist in your view?

of course, but the more essential thing is to get involved with local orgs that support homeless people. go volunteer at a soup kitchen, or help some anarchists hand out support packages, or donate to a shelter - etc.

fuck off!

Jordan bombing Syria is not unusual, they’re going after drug smugglers who cross the border with the blessing of the Syrian government.

heard that they classified some group in yemen as terrorists? the “houthis”? idk anything about that but i support the brave and heroic Yemeni Armed Forces in all that they do

return to tradition (posting cool animals on CTH)

and it tries to get you to buy codecs from the windows store to play certain videos lol, it’s absurd

peace deal, we’re allowed to make fun of the weirdo “abolish time” anarchists and they’re allowed to make fun of the weirdo “i pledge allegience to chairman gonzalo” communists, and we will build anticapitalist unity on this basis. as a show of good faith we won’t make any more jabs about Makhno and they won’t make any more about the Bolsheviks

another one of those historical moments where you feel like you’re riiiight at the top of a rollercoaster, about to plunge unstoppably

it seems as much imperialism as the Mongols or the Romans at least.

have you read Lenin

i’m so glad he’s back. one day we will give him a top job at the ministry for proletarian culture

you don’t have to join a Party. you can just be a communist getting involved with local shit that helps people and challenges capital. the Party will come later, once we are numerous and organised enough to actually make a Party which can lead the working classes and not just sell newspapers to striking workers

it is almost like a dialectically materialist understanding of history would indicate your own place in it and make it possible for you to act accordingly, breaking free of liberal nihilism and “introversion”

of course if you still labour under a liberal worldview then that would just seem like people telling you to “go outside” and “build some communism”

that’s not rlly much help for the many jews around the world who both despise the state of “israel” and also are victims of antisemitism

it’s not hard to distinguish “israel” from judaism and jews, so you should.

Organise to do what?

Try to form connections with the exploited and oppressed people in your locality via whatever means you can. Listen attentively to them and their problems whenever you get the opportunity, understand them and use the theory you know to analyse what you have heard and seen. Take the results of that analysis and try to apply them; even if it’s just trying to agitate more effectively, keep thinking about how to adapt your line and practice to the circumstances you find yourself in. Always be on the lookout for other communists/anyone else who seems like they would be down to help organise the working class. If you find anyone like that, talk to them and work with them. Some of the folks in your local party branch may feel the same as you about the tactics being ineffective and would welcome some fresh ideas about how to organise.

Basically, do what a communist does. It takes practice and if you’re new to it, it’s gonna feel a little stilted at first, but this is how communists organise and lead.

Good luck, you can do it! There’s nothing wrong with being a stubborn, disagreeable motherfucker if you’re doing it on behalf of the poor and oppressed and you’re driven by a love for the people. I was very shy and conflict-averse when I started organising but the more I’ve done and seen, and the more I’ve become aware of how terribly my friends and neighbours are treated by capitalism, the less I’ve had time for compromise and being “reasonable” with the exploiting class and their lackeys.
