"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

the average russian worker wasn't an imperialist parasite whose food, goods, existence, etc. innately involved the exploitation of the global south and therefore provided a net negative to the movement though

do you believe friedrich engels to have been a parasite? do you believe souphanouvong to have been a parasite?

again, marxism does not preach asceticism or seclusion from a society you did not create! marx himself critiqued such attitudes in "the poverty of philosophy"!

it is not a productive approach to belittle one's own contributions and self-flagellate over perceived imperfections. whatever negative impact you may have materially on others is utterly microscopic in comparison with the bourgeoisie, which is the enemy of both you and your fellow workers in the global south.

so have some priorities, as well as self-respect.
