OPSEC is generally poor

Until this doesn't improve at an exponential rate, CIA, NSA, FBI, HSI, ICE, Marines, National Guards, state cops & local PDs will keep successfully deathcamping your undisciplined vanguard. I don't oppose vanguarding while revolting. I oppose it after the proletariat is free.

the class struggle isn’t advancing.

because we are seeing the exact opposite advancing: the class unconscious doesn't want to learn. They want to stay performing in social media. They want to keep electoralism. They want to pretend there will be justice served after 2028.

You know the first rule of warfare is securing reliable food. Until that is accomplished, fascism will remain the :amerikkkant: quo. Need not remind you, it's been past a generation of fascism.

    I haven't seen mass attacks succeed against the various parties attempting to become a vanguard. ICE fascists and the like brutalizing the people isn't the same as succeeding in arresting organizers, even if some have been explicitly called out by the capitalist state. As for the vanguard becoming unnecessary after the proletariat is free, I agree, but we likely have different views on how the proletariat as a whole and it's vanguard reinforce each other, and what the timeframe for the proletariat becoming actually free is.

    As for the "politically unconscious," this is not a permanent fixture. Again, socialism and communism are more popular than ever before in Statesian history. There's no chance that everyone of them understands what these words mean, but plenty of them do, and this number is increasing. People's ideas come from their material conditions, and are largely learned through struggle.

    Did you miss the Prairieland Vanguard being sentenced for life?

    this number is increasing.

    WHERE‽

    People’s ideas come from their material conditions,

    Material conditions that have NOT been secured. And because they are not secure, Nazis will, and force everyone to ID. There’s no difference fom Putin’s fascism, and today's :amerikkkant:. Just more :amerikkkant: stealing from those they oppress.

    I did miss that, yes, because I can't find any reference to a "Prarieland Vanguard" association. I do know that the state has cracked down on groups, but the idea that such an association could be a vanguard is off.

    As for the number increasing, it's very well documented, to the point that porkie is terrified.

    Material conditions are not to be "secured." When I say people's ideas come from their material conditions, I mean the way we live and our surroundings shape how we think. Living in a moribund empire is radicalizing more people, and if you haven't seen that then I am not sure you've been paying attention.
