When you look at the state the USSR or China was in pre-revolution, it’s truly astonishing what they accomplished. No matter how terrible things get, socialism will always shine. The DPRK always gives me hope. They’ve been through so much shit and continue to go through a lot, but they manage to stay strong and progress at their own pace.
We’re on the side of the oppressed. We’re on the side of humanity’s success.
Edit: when someone calls you utopian or insane, just remember “if they could do it, we can do it.”
I’m a lil late to the party on this post, but becoming a socialist really helped me curb my doomerism and allowed me to be way more optimistic than ever before. It’s just a liberating feeling being able to recognise and critique both capitalism and our selves and be able to improve and move foward.
AES is also massive hopium and seeing how far they’ve all come/came is evidence enough a better future is possible.
To be dramatic, frankly. It’s proof that we don’t have to give in and we absolutely don’t need to suffer alone and aimless. We can work things out together and make things better for everyone, one step at a time.
We don’t have to accept the homelessness, the hunger, the pain, the quiet desolation nor the crimes committed towards our fellow man in the name of capital.
god i sound cheesy. But then again, i mean it all wholeheartedly.
I wish all my comrades the best, keep fighting the good fight in your own little way.
I am the exact same, socialism makes life seem worth living
