we're seeing the rise of leftist youtube channels, and stuff like ContraPoints will reach the idpol idiots and possibly radicalize them
Mainstreaming socialism/communism in the US?
Fuck off, it doesn't matter. All leftist groups are infiltrated anyway so you will never ever be able to discuss anything if you let fear paralyze you.
you know there are other parts of Africa that are not Somalia? parts that are safer?
but individualism is as compatible if not more so under communism than capitalism. in fact the idea of freedom of choice as the priori premise under which individualism can flourish is the real illusion. express your individuality by buying a samsung instead of an iphone, etc. people innately recognize that this is bullshit but cannot articulate it because muh ideology. this is much easier programming to break, meanwhile we should maintain that their individualistic ideals will be much easier to realize under communism.
Accelerationism. Only suffering can cause one to question the system they live under, realise its internal contradictions, and demand something new.
The majority of Americans, among other first worlders, live too comfortably and have too much of a cushion from modern day opiate-like commodities and rituals such affordable marijuana, easy sex (you now have a Chinese factory-made "smartphone" with an "app" called "Tinder" that provides you a massive selection of local women to pick and choose who to sleep with each night), affordable used car that can be bought from saving even with a minimum wage job, inexpensive internet that gives you all the virtual entertainment you could want, Netflix, etc. etc. At the moment, interest in socialism (which is currently confused with social democratic reforms) in the US can only reach a certain a point and then plateau because not enough Americans are suffering.
The proletarian revolution is impossible without the sympathy and support of the overwhelming majority of the working people. - Vladimir Lenin
americans ARE suffering, just not in the way third worlders are. why do you think we voted for the donald? americans are acutely attuned to their own alienation. depression and suicide rates are high, especially among middle class white males. our problem is NOT that the people aren't suffering enough, but that they do not understand their own suffering. the jordan peterson fans found someone who can contextualize it in a way they can understand and do something about their alienation. it's those people we have to reach and make them realize that these people are frauds and true liberation requires systemic change.
