Dialogue can't change the mode of production, so we must create more leftists so revolution becomes feasible.
agreed -- how do we make more leftists though?
Talking and organizing.
Exactly. Talking. Violence isn't going to make more leftists.
That said, call me paranoid but I think three-letter organizations are the main obstacle to organizing. I don't know what to do about that.
Revolution will be required eventually, which was the original point.
By telling potential allies they're as bad as the enemy of course! It'll start working any day now.
The leftists have their own magical thinking and it's seems be to inherient to the movement. But unlike rightist magcial thinking, one cannot bully their way to a leftist paradise so right wins and will always win until the leftists compromise. No sign of that happening in my life time.
I mean, liberalism and those who support the current system are bad, yes. That doesn't mean it is necessarily deiliberate, but the Capitalist and by extension Imperialist system most of us on Lemmy live in is an extreme source of cruelty and brutality worldwide.
Don't know what you mean by "magical thinking" though.
Liberals are the enemy though.
