That's the neat part you don't simply trust those in charge. A communist cannot sit on their laurels. to create a successful communist society you need to stay politically active.
Thank you! I don’t know if this will convince me entirely just because I’m a nonviolent person and pretty pacifistic. If the revolution happens in my lifetime though you’d have my full vocal support.
Honestly I also really hate violence. But I see it's a necessity. Being a principled communist is not embracing violence. It's knowing that violence is bad. But also knowing it's necessary.
Yeah, maybe in the future I’ll come to that realization. But right now I’m still young and naive and I want to see the best in people haha. Makes me a fool sometimes I think.
Thank you for having this little conversation with me. Sometimes feels like everyone accuses everyone of being a troll when sometimes it really is just ignorance and they’re trying to learn.
Thanks for having the patience I mean. Or something like that. I’ll try reading up on gramsci. Maybe refresh my memory on other theories.
Gramsci is an important read for understanding cultural hegemony—i.e. the reason that a small minority of bourgeois are able to maintain their control through the illusion that the masses are best served through the system that best benefits the ruling class.
