like it feels like the only way out of this spiral into mass servile proud illiteracy in the imperial core is that, for the third qualifier, ego injury might push people into learning out of spite. I don’t know. What can you even say to people who don’t understand how to parse what you are saying, and then get mad at you about it?
Am I overreacting? Is this too blackpilled? It genuinely seems like this is a very dark potent, especially at this nexus of heightened contradictions
The weakness of the proletariat is that they are divisible and manipulatable enough to redirect them away from revolutionary activity. This was remedied by Lenin’s vanguard strategy in Russia and parties who adopted this strategy in the developing world, but it does take leadership to pull and push the masses to action.
The caveat is that despite this weakness, communists & socialists only need a segment of the population since segments of the proletariat also adopts the “go-along-to-get-along” and has a wait-and-see approach to new policies and states of governance.
