"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 left is far to divided and needs a central leader. The advantage the liberals and conservatives have are that their parties are not fractured. The two party system also prevents any way to win democratically so the only way to do this would be a revolution. But to have a revolution you must have the people on your side and Americans tend to look at a central leader like a president as the representation of a movement. How should we unite all of the different leftists under one leader so that there can be a united opposition. We also need to get more people to understand that currently America is not a true democracy and that the only way to fix this is with violence. Currently we need far more comrades like Luigi to remove the bourgeoisie with violence. If there are people with nothing left to lose some brave comrade should give them a weapon so they can do something.

For those of us living in the USA discussing theory won't change anything. Only action will. United we will win, fractured we will fall.

The left isn’t divided. Liberals are conflated with actual left wing parties. State actors pretend to be leftist whilst fomenting division and argument.

Actual leaders are attacked and isolated by capitalists, nazis, conservatives, and alleged moderates wanting to maintain the status quo.

Well how does someone become a leader of the entire left. We need someone who can stand up against the capitalists and will not fall to corruption. They also need to be charismatic so they can convince non leftists to become leftists.

such a person would be murdered by the state before they accomplished anything bigger than state politics.

Shouldn't stop us from trying. How can it be attempted at least. If no one dares to stand against the capitalists then no change will be made. A leader is needed and if the government dares to assassinate them would it not provide justification to the public for a revolution.

we've rioted when that happens, you can probably think of a few examples, but we don't have the preconditions for an assassination to kick off the revolution.
