Serious question. What is your actionable alternative? Actionable as in something you do
Disrupt the course of the water permanently (every day of the year), instead of a symbolic gesture one day out of the year.
In this case the water is the accumulating mass discontent and the drain is militarism and nationalism.
Revolution, which depends on worker organizing in preparation for the inevitable crisis points of capitalism to take the entire working class in a unified direction against the capitalist state. Smash it, and replace it with one run by the working class, for the working class.
So unionizing?
That can be part of it, but trade unionism alone is not revolution, nor can it become revolution without revolutionary organizing.
Yes, you need a vanguard party. It's easily to see when you look at India for example where strikes of dozens of millions, even over 100 million were organised in last few years but despite having the strenght way more than enough to topple the government and even entire system, they didn't even kept the status quo.
Bingo. Bowing to spontaneity is a foolish endeavor, you need direction for mass and force to apply pressure in a pointed area. It's like blowing up a balloon, it takes far less air to pop it if all of the pressure were able to be localized to a specific area, rather than generally spreading evenly.
Thats not even remotely the same
Vote as triage, but lower your expectations on a "big strong man" solving broken systems. Life is short; voting takes time from other meaningful activities. Triage, if time allows, but do other meaningful activities.
Being cautious of the "big strong man" will help recognition of the slide toward any of the flavors of fascism. Populists promise "for the people" or "for the workers" and then centralize "power to" and "power over". The revolution results in the same broken systems with normal people with no power.
Regarding individual actions:
No gods, no masters. All power to all people.
Just got banned from the USA community for, at least in part, asking this..... Albeit less briefly and nowhere near as polite.
Your modlog is public, dumbass. You got banned for being an asshole. This uwu smol bean act you types try to pull off is so pathetic, at least stand by your behavior. If you have it in you to be a dick then you have it in you to admit you were being a dick. If you're going to be a genocide denying fascist then at least have the guts to not go crying elsewhere about how you actually just a super chill civil dude arguing for socialism.
Unfortunately for you, your modlog is public and shows you were actually banned for genocide denial
You were there, stop bullshitting. Quote where I denied the genocide, let's see it. What I did say was to get your head out of your ass and vote. Genocide denial is what's going on with you guys, only putting the dems on a magnifying glass while the other party plans resorts in Gaza.
"Genocide isn't so bad if it's to build Israeli settlements and not American resorts!"
Literally your only objection to the actions of the current administration is that it's Republicans doing it
"I know you are but what am I!'
Fucking literal 12 year old
In your last fucking post. I know you BlueMaga shitlibs can't remember anything more than a week ago but now you can't even remember your own previous post.
Shrilly screeching at leftists that they must shut the fuck up and vote for Democrats has literally been your strategy for a decade, if you don't like how it's been going, stop doing it
Your point of view is fucking disgusting.
Hahahaha. Dude you're unintentionally hilarious.
