I want to remind everybody to keep up the revolutionary optimism. The revolution will happen, comrades. It will happen and it will happen in our life times if we get to work right now. It won’t be easy, but there is no victory without sacrifice. And in the end, communism will win.
On this topic: we need to avoid the trap of thinking that our enemies are Palpatine-like evil geniuses, with some diabolical masterplan that only an act of God can disrupt. Right-wingers often talk this way: Soros controls everything, the government (owned by Zionists and Freemasons) is instituting a New World Order, etc.
In fact, the real problem is that nobody’s in control. The ruling class can’t control their own system, and they’re desperately floundering, and lashing out.
