"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

How will we start a revolution in the United States (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

I dont have to do anything.

Nobody ever knew how to handle "communists". They handle all dissent the same.

That is why I STRONGLY advise to organize. Because they will come for you either way and they will kill you, either way.

"Going to a meeting" for example isnt the only form of organizing. If you start reading, you understand that, otherwise you dont.

Adventurism (which is my original point) is the least effective form and the one that gets you killed the fastest. It is pure bougois defeatism to state otherwise. Please read lenin and/or stalin. Both are clear on this.

So depending on your material conditions, you have to make a persec decision what to do and what not. But there is absolutely no argument against organizing. Organizing can mean a lot of things. None of them need to mention the word fascists or communists, nobody needs to fly a red banner. Organizing means you give out soup for example. Helping your community to survive is organizing. There even is a meme on here somewhere that says "resistance needs everyone" and then you see multiple things depicting multiple jobs like medics, cooks, propagandists, etc. That is what is meant by organising.

If you live in a place where working in a soup kitchen can get you killed for being a dirty commie, you need to flee ASAP and not complain to some rando on the internet.

I was trying to raise a point that we need to change our methods If you're gonna be insulting about it you may as well give yourself to ICE

Feel free to point out insults. I'm ready to learn. What I'm not ready to is getting told what to do and what to think without a hint of evidence. Thats just reactionary nonsense then.
