Yeah, I think I read his book about revolution. It wasn't completely terrible, but the final conclusion that we should try to mimic the conditions that led to Constantine's conversion to Christianity as kind of... deluded? Or was that a different Micah? The guy who had a hand in Occupy. Lots of mealy-mouthed, both sides need to work together bullshit as well.

jeremy gong is an NPC member most noteworthy for being one of the main proponents of closing NPC meetings to all non-NPC members of DSA.

I'm torn because while he's bad, he is useful for making the case for abolishing the NPC (in as much as he makes it necessary).

Didn't Lenin also trash talk leftists who were hyper-militant and uninterested in reform. I mean I'm no scholar or anything but it's something I've heard.

I believe he broke reforms down into two camps, ones that challenge the power of the capitalist class, and ones that benefit them. Seems pretty standard poo poo but people read whatever they want into that. Would Lenin support Obamacare? Absolutely not. Single payer? It's likely.

I still think comparing tsarist Russia and the United States is bordering on nonsensical but people gotta tweet about poo poo to look good

while in exile, Lenin was particularly well-known for a series of tweets published between correspondents

he came out against political assasinations as being ineffective, but was a proponent of armed revolution.

assasinations were a favored tactic of the SRs and the anarchists, so there was a political aspect to this as well.

I'm phone posting so I'm just now realizing you misinterpreted what I was saying. Lenin was literally in the russian social Democrat party, just in the more radical faction.

He was also a literal social Democrat because that's the word people used for communist until the ussr.

the modern usage of the word social democrat and the 1905 usage of the word are completely different, mostly because of the betrayal of the what we would now call social democrats like kautsky over their patriotism and social chauvinism during WW1.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

if the left put as much energy into doing things as it does figuring out labels and arguing about irrelevant minutiae we would be living in giant communist space colonies by now
