I mean there is some truth to this in the sense I have said at City Council meetings “I shouldn’t even be here”. Like the population should be informed and its our duty to stay informed etc disclaimer boiler plate. But ffs if we lived in a actual functional society it would be so fucking BORING. My local group who does shit I have a hard time keeping up because of all the meetings and shit. (Like your not supposed to attend them all and it’s based off specific areas they are working in, but I’m a stubborn fool).

I’m very tired of everything being a throw-down for the most basic things. Can’t fucking fix a sidewalk without the theatics of pro or anti woke sidewalk somehow.

Like, please can we do the whatever type of revolution so we can be normal about the fucking basic ass shit? I don’t want to do a Bleeding Kansas to get street protections so students will stop getting run over from crossing the street!

I would probably replace “Marxist” with “Marxist revolutionary” here, but if we accept that substitution, then I agree wholeheartedly.

I disagree with it as-written because Marxism is not just a political project but a worldview, and without the worldview there is no project, and without the worldview there is no maintaining the victory of the project.

Also Marxism genuinely is helpful for navigating daily life on a purely personal level.

Edit: what is this from, by the way?

MARXIST 4 LIFE

Buddhists were a terrible example because they also wish to stop being Buddhists and return into non-being.

Basically we want to go back to brunch.

Of course the most counter-revolutionary instrument is the cello
