"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.

It's tough because our equivalents, like Tik Tok for the young, Facebook for the old, and YouTube, are owned or bought by the billionaire class. We need alternative media that can bypass their control and be sent and spread directly by the masses, but that means increasing the popularity of platforms like Mastadon, Lemmy, maybe piefied (but it's dislike of "tankies" makes it an enemy to revolution in my eyes), and finding an alternative to YouTube, which is the toughest because video hosting takes a lot of space and is way too expensive.
