    I already made a suggestion for you. And you are the one doing the complaining and doing nothing. If you're voting and nothing else, you're doing worse than nothing, you're actively legitimizing genocide and war.

    For the record, I don't believe your ideology is wack. It's one I share. The difference is that I vote. I'm complaining because voting is important.

    Yes, so are you going to organize? Join a communist party?

    It makes more sense to turn the Democratic party communist.

    oh dear you are being incredibly naive. You don't shape the party, it shapes you. You're only focusing on electoralism and it's a dead end.

    Sounds like a defeatest attitude to me.

    What is it I should be focusing on then?

    Really? It has never happened, it can't happen. The democrats are there only to serve capital, same with the republicans.

    I told you, join a communist party and organize. Read theory. Voting in a bourgeois democracy does nothing for the proletariat.

    The US and Great Britain genocided entire continents, using bourgeios democracy, IE the parliamentary / representative voting system you hold so dear. Its proven to be the safest shell for rule by a capitalist minority, with the added benefit of making people think they actually live in a functioning democracy, rather than a completely rigged system.

    In the past 30 years or so, the PRC lifted more people out of poverty, than any other country in human history. This is probably the most significant acheivement in modern times, carried out by committed communists carrying out massive, nationwide poverty alleviation campaigns.

    "Your ideology has had a century of being violently suppressed. Clearly my ideology that has been around 150 years longer than that of being in full control of the world's resources and is leading to the extinction of human life on the planet is better."

    You could say that of Cuba, but the Soviet Union wasn't really even being suppressed during its peak.

    The Soviet Union and its allies were 100% being economically suppressed by the west. If the citizens of a capitalist/imperialist puppet state gain self determination and economic freedom through revolution or even by liberal electoralism, they are ostracized and their governments are punished via economic sanctions and/or outright violence. Liberal bourgeois democracies can be either left or right leaning, even fascist leaning, but once they cross the threshold of economic parity, they are no longer worth anything to the capitalist classes that control and influence the world economy.

    China is literally lifting millions out of poverty, reverting desertification and improving people's lives all the time.

    Do not forget that Amerika and Europe have been attacking communist countries for decades.

    Taiwan, Japan and South Korea also lifted millions out of poverty and did it quicker

    They are all colonized by Amerika you dummy. And lifted out of poverty? Are you having a laugh? Suicide rates are high in those countries, there's constant abuse of the proletariat and people becoming poorer and poorer but sure.

    You could say that communist countries have been attacking capitalist countries for decades as well

    What a fucking joke, completely ignoring Cuba? Vietnam? Or hell, even DPRK? How about all the South American countries that Amerika overthrew? Or how about the same with Iran back in the 1950s? Yugoslavia??

    Oh, how about Libya, which was considered one of the most successful African countries until Amerika and NATO intervened and now it's destitute and has open slave markets?

    How about Amerika having 800 military bases all around the world? Who has never been in a defensive war, never actually NOT been in a war?

    Join a revolutionary party and organize.

    Or you could be like every liberal who will say they can wait years for any progress but at the same time expect immediate results when other alternatives are brought up. Even Martin Luther King Jr. wrote on it!

    I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

    Which is very fitting too because now it's not only the Palestinian genocide, which is already far, far beyond of what is remotely acceptable, but now it's also trans people being thrown under the bus. ICE will still operate but it will be "done right" which means white liberals will keep on going to brunch and forgetting about all the horrible shit Amerika is doing because it's okay when it's the blue team doing it.

    My plan is to ridicule people online who try to ask for revolutionary plans to be posted on public forums as some kind of thought terminating cliche / useful idiotry for federal agents.

    Too many people are still having brunch and want to wait a few more years. These types of events are not done alone.

    Because despite saying you're here for it, youre not here for it enough to be willing to take up arms to defend the person running the guillotine from the state violence capitalists will always use to defend capitalism.

    I'm not really here for that either, but only because there aren't enough people who would join me to make it anything but a really complicated suicide method.

    First you have to build the revolution. Then you'll have no choice but to fight the revolution. So you can vote for more of the same, or you can join an actual communist party and start helping to build the revolution. Hell, you can even do both. But one of those things is like praying for rain, and one is like picking up tools for the dirty, sweaty, unpleasant job of constricting an irrigation system.

    Mighty bold assumptions on your part.

    I’m very prepared to do what needs to be done. I’ve organized as much as I can without leaving evidence.

    And you’re not the person that was asked.
