Haha, what a dumpster fire here in the comments ;)

Let me add some fuel to it: What makes you think Covid-19 will stop? There will likely be one mutation after the other, with the rich part of the world getting an updated vaccine every 12 months or so…

You’re not naive. But you won’t see collective action happening on a forum or armchair intellectuals such as Lemmy. You’ll see it with local activist and political groups. It can’t be done from the internet.

Yes it is just a dream, but when we dream together we(slowly) change reality. We can create unions, join an org and help each other we can also support people who are struggling and keep going on.

De temps en temps il arrive bien un jeune homme qui rêve tambours et barricades, et qui vient chercher des scènes à sensation, mais qui déserte la cause du peuple dès qu’il s’aperçoit que la route de la barricade est longue, que le travail est pénible et que sur cette route les couronnes de laurier qu’il rêve de conquérir sont mêlées d’épines. Le plus souvent, ce sont des ambitieux inassouvis, qui, après avoir échoué dans leurs premières tentatives, cherchent à capter les suffrages du peuple, mais qui plus tard seront les premiers à tonner contre lui, dès qu’il voudra appliquer les principes qu’ils ont eux-mêmes professés, peut-être même feront braquer les canons contre le prolétaire s’il ose bouger avant que, eux, les chefs de file, en aient donné le signal.

Aux jeunes gens - Pierre Kropotkine

I wouldn’t say it’s naïve, but it’s a long road, it takes time and work to build conditions that allow us to fight.

english translation for Kropotkin’s text:

Now and then, it is true, a young man comes among us who dreams of drums and barricades and seeks sensational scenes, but he deserts the cause of the people as soon as he perceives that the road to the barricade is long, that the work is heavy, and that the crowns of laurel to be won in the campaign are intermingled with thorns. Generally these are ambitious schemers, out of work, who, having failed in their first efforts, try in this way to cajole people out of their votes, but who a little later will be the first to denounce them when the people wish to apply the principles which they themselves have professed; perhaps will even be ready to turn artillery and Gatlings upon them if they dare to move before they, the heads of the movement, give the signal.

appeal to the young

i dont think covid will force people to revolt against the system, because one: its that same system thats gonna cure them, and two: covid isnt a big enough problem by itself, there would need to be atleast two more MAJOR problems with the system to prompt revalution.

Human kind isn’t capable of successful revolution.
I think you might be naive to underestimate the extent to which we can bear suffering and slavery! we did it since the dawn of time and we will carry on doing it till the end of times.
