    you are correct that some revolutionaries come from privileged background ie Lenin

    but even in constraints of capitalism unionisation of workforce is form of socialism, its first step since it brings more democratic power to workers with collective bargaining. My dad & mum are both union members and fight for their rights. Both of them have never read much economic theory in their lives

    i am not communist though so i am not really to speak on Marxist theory i only have read very limited amounts theory

    but i am pretty sure something like black panthers required all members to read some theory to join if i am not mistaken

    Within the US and EU, do you not think communists and socialists come from more privileged backgrounds? Political awareness increases with education level. Go to the poorest neighbourhoods. Bet you don't see communist and socialists like you do if you go to a uni.

    thats why we seen massive surge of populist right wing leaders cause its easier to get working class person angry about immigrants or culture war s*** then explaining economic polices

    Also doesn't help that maggie literally destroyed leftism in the uk and once labour took over it became very different party under blair

    This is very true. Have nothing else to add. Fully agree with you here and it is a big issue. The under and working classes are being taught to fight each other instead of the elites.

  • Mar 9, 2021

    Very true. Most liberals are privileged whites who roleplay as saviors and rebels. Lame ass niggas go play xbox.

  • Mar 9, 2021

    Nothing more annoying then a white liberal trying to tell you how to think!
    Get that inferior mindset out your brain!!

    I always expect Synopsis to pop off when these threads get posted and instead all we get is “yeah you’re an idiot” or “braindead take” for 10-15 pages every single time 😭

    It sucks too because I feel like he has the knowledge to actually address points and rebuke them but it never ever happens

    I really do like syn though

    There's a certain threshold one gets to where honestly replying to "When has communism ever worked" "100 Million Dead FAMINE tier posts becomes useless

    Synopsis is not the ally of a socialist or communist. He has allowed himself to become a meme on here by spending all day and night posting nonsense. Such people are not good for the cause. They make us look bad.

    The right and others on the left look at us like we are nuts because of people like Synopsis. He is not an ally. People like Synopsis are a liability to the cause and should be thrown under the bus. He is a very weak man.

    I agree with many of his views, but his attitude is so poor. This is why you will find even people on this site who agree with his views do not like him. He participates in clown behaviour. A clown is not our ally.

    Dude is a phony. He will spend literally hours on here to go in on someone and bully them if they appear to have a really poor grasp on the topic at hand, but pulls the “lol this isn’t worth my time” if it’s someone who even halfway knows what they’re talking about.

    Yep. I am not denying this is a problem on the right.

    Phony and meme leftists need to be thrown under the bus too. Communism has become a meme to the point I don't like to call myself one. Calling yourself a communist gets you associated with these clowns who shill China and play the communist on social media. Optics. So important to gaining followers, and the optics on communism are not good right now.

    I see so many communists who are happy to die on the China hill for no real reason. I don't get it. Your role as a communist is to gain followers to the cause. So many communists take such a ridiculous meme stance and ruin the cause. It puts people off.

    We should play a :insert Synopsis reply: game.

    For example the reply to your post would be something like: "Right, lmao"
