Honestly I am not focused on revolution within the US at the moment. Before that is possible we will need revolutions in the imperial periphery that make our empire weak enough to tackle. I have not the slightest clue what it would take to be a revolutionary in the sense that Che was within the US and I don't think its up to individuals to figure that out. Leaving it to the individual is begging for adventurism. Hell, Che would say America is not ready for an urban Guerrila movement yet anyway. He'd say too many people still trust the electoral system and he'd be damn right. America does not yet have a revolutionary vanguard party so I wouldn't say anyone is close to being revolutionaries yet. PSL shows promise but they are limited by essentially just being a protest org right now. They also do some education and work with some labor unions but it isn't all there imo.
Guevara easily. Kaczynski recognized many issues with the world but blamed it on technological progress rather than the system driving that technological progress and then used it as an excuse to murder people. He wasn't even very good at the murdering and mostly killed people he did not intend to. Luigi is ideologically confused but iconic for his (alleged) propaganda of the deed. I like him but he isn't an influence on me. Guevara helped lead a successful revolution that vastly improved the lives of the vast majority of cubans forever. He has contributed to an incalculable good for hundreds of thousands of people. He then became a leftist icon and integral part of so many guerilla movements that were so threatening that the US contracted help from a former nazi to find and kill him. They then attempted to hide is corpse in an unmarked grave in the jungle. It's not a hard choice. Thats not even mentioning his valuable humanitarian work outside of Cuba and his work within the Cuban government as treasurer.
The United states values freedom above all else and intervenes in foreign lands to make people more free.
Racism is an individualist and idealogical issue caused by ignorance rather than a systemic problem maintained and incentivized by the structure of production
A Fatwa is just a legal ruling through Islamic law (the major form of law in Iran) by a qualified religious scholar (a mufti). Basically they officially recognized Trump and Netanyahu as the enemy and like, no shit, they bombed them. This feels alarmist and as if it is playing on islamaphobic ignorance. We declare people enemies of the state all the time but thats not "inciting terrorism"
Idk about bugs but snails in captivity have friends who they prefer to spend most of their time with. They also have favorite foods they get excited for.
You should block a lot of people and communities, it helps with the ai nonsense. As for the radicalism, Lemmy was developed by communists. It is a niche free open source semi-decentralized platform that is free of ads. It's gonna attract the type of people who have a lot of problems with capitalism. Radical leftists didn't come here to radicalize people, they were here first. If it isn't for you then it isn't for you but as one of those radical leftists I do encourage you to give our world-view a fair glance. Read the manifesto or watch a youtuber like secondthought. Maybe listen to a speech from Parenti. It changed my life permenantly and it could do the same for you.
Yeah I don't tell people in my life I am a communist because that could get me sent to a camp in a few years. I am not getting reported to the fucking gestapo by someone I play DND with
We are already post scarcity. The resources simply aren't distributed properly or are wasted because of profit seeking. We only get a moneyless society far after the revolution. (So probably not in our lifetime unfortunately)
The bourgeois parties are always hypocrites. They pretend to serve the people while their only material interest is capital. Give the manifesto a shot or if you don't want to read, listen to this speech by my favorite man. It changed my perspective on the world, genuinely.
I am a communist and he did say something like that yeah. It had more to do with believing you understand why the working class struggles how it does because of some internal or external enemy corrupting the "pure nation" instead of class relations
I wish I was this bee so bad rn
