    Of course American organizers have to use the book definitions of those terms. You know, instead of examining the material reality of the people they want to organize and tayloring to their current understanding in order to raise their class consciousness. As we know, class consciousness is raised by throwing Das Kapital at people. 😆

      Americans when it comes to doing anything but coming up with excuses: 👆

      Jesus, you people don’t have much time. Fascism is rising fast while you’re compromising with liberals.

      Personally, I don’t care about what happens in your country, but you affect the rest of us.

      u gringomf are so brainwashed by corpos that treat politics as a company. no, bro, you dont have to do some pr stunt where you talk about communism withput saying what communism is. when you see a true hero of the masses you see in his speach the impecable lingo of antiimperialism, not some moderate half bought “leftist” zionist.

        That hasn’t worked for me. What worked was information tailored to where I was at the time. I did the same with my family and friends based on where they were. That’s worked for us. Get off your idealist high horse.

          these are not your family and friends, they are politicians. why do you put them to the same level? i am the idealist? your plan is for them to talk softly so no one gets bothered. good people make the best nazis.

            Yes, believing that you’re just gonna go out there and speak communism at the most propagandized anti-communist popilation in the world and that they’d change their mind on communism being the antichrist is literally ignoring the material reality of their predisposition. If you believe that, you believe people are swayed primarily by ideas, so you’re an idealist.

      Fastest way to work out someone hasn’t even bothered reading Capital Vol 1 is calling it “Das Kapital” when referring to the English translation.

      Read it, it’s well worth it.
