Keep in mind that even Lenin didn't think he would see revolution in his lifetime and there really isn't another person who has been or perhaps ever will be a more effective revolutionary.
To add to the example. In the early days of the CPC’s struggle, signing up to be a Communist was a death sentence. Whether it was Japanese or Nationalist bullets, or torture, or starvation, or freezing to death. They knew this.
And yet they struggled. Against impossible odds, they fought and sacrificed and died so that their comrades might see the light of a better nation. They marched until 10,000 were left, against the most advanced and powerful nations in the world, and turned that into the People’s Republic of China. For 50 years they struggled and planned before even getting a glimpse of the top of the hill of poverty.
I see this potential in the American left. Not the online left, not the Hexbears or TrueAnons or Hasan viewers. But 10,000 real American revolutionaries, I could see.
To be honest the online left doomer-pills me. Nobody in the online left spaces will be a revolutionary, including me. Too labor-averse and struggle-averse and unable to see past the infinite personal offenses they take to ever call a comrade a comrade.
But 10,000… I could see.
