They say they’re being harassed for “speaking truth to power”, and right wing reactionary chuds and Nazis say the exact same thing. I hear all the time that “people hated Charlie Kirk because he spoke truth to power”.
Should we also abandon our anti-zionist positions since antisemites espouse them as well? Or give up guns to the government because the chuds are all gun nuts?
They don’t make you a communist, they make you a good person. Everyone will be overwhelmingly more receptive to listening to your theory, when you’ve established yourself as a good person and not a bad person.
Yeah, because the guy who just received 70 millions votes in an election in her country is the exemplar of being a good fucking person. Aremoved, pedophile, war criminal and a scammer. Yet people like him and listen to him. Not because he’s a good person, but because he promised them an improvement in their material conditions amidst a crumbling economy in the last election. The Bolsheviks didn’t win because they were nice, but because they promised the people peace, land and bread. They knew the whites were principally opposed to this, and the best propaganda they could conjure up was antisemitic bullshit, which is why they got their ass kicked.
“Don’t be a good person because you might help slow the collapse” isn’t communist either, it’s accelerationist.
Which is why I was very careful in saying that it wasn’t effective unless done with a principled communist organization.
Communism is not a hard sell when you meet people where they’re at, and speak to their needs and fears, instead of treating it like your moral high horse.
That’s what Mamdani is doing in a way, entryist politics simply looking the improve the local conditions in NYC. Do you think he’s gonna be some revolutionary leader? You can do that, but only inside a principled organization that also educates it’s members in theory.
