Part of an ongoing analysis of "What is to be done" by Lenin.
This video really highlights how faux leftist movements co-opt (through ignorance or deliberate sabotage) the working class in order to suspend any revolutionary activity. Fortifying workers against this influence is paramount, and it can only be done by pointing out that capitalism can not be "fixed", it can not be moved towards socialism. Capitalism and socialism are incompatible, and any pretenses at healthy co-existence within a society only generate temporary effects to buy the ruling class the time it needs to appease the agitated masses, increase its power, and feed us with pessimism.
I'm posting this partly to promote Bes D. Marx. It's a really good channel for theory and the history of socialism.
