My guess is not enough people heard about this place. I saw it through r/marxistculture but if someone's not subscribed to any other tankie adjacent subs I imagine they're just left in the dark. Alternatively because the other subs aren't banned presumably a lot of them just took refuge elsewhere on reddit (before those subs are eventually destroyed too)

Exactly… how does a socialist, communist or anarchist think revolution will happen?

This is what I mean by the Bellamyite delusion. He essentially believed that the transition from capitalism to socialism would not only be peaceful, but natural. The people can just sit on their asses and wait until the capitalists are done consuming themselves. That is the ghost that haunted American progressive movements for the last hundred years. They don't believe in revolutions; their ideal form of government is a momentary retreat from capitalism (i.e. New Deal era) or Nordic welfare capitalism, both of which are utterly impossible to achieve in modern US. These people have good hearts, but it just seems impossible to wake them up from establishment slop.

Genuinely what the fuck are they doing man this movement is so cooked

The Charlie Kirk incident really showed how many so called "leftists" in these online spaces are actually just closet liberals. I would say the number is about 90%. It's very clear that the vast majority of Americans do not give a fuck about anyone's suffering unless it either affects them personally or offends their precious sensibilities. They harbor a sort of Bellamyite delusion that by doing absolutely nothing, they will beat the fascists and achieve utopia.

I'm so confused by these reports. How did he engrave so many words on a bullet casing? Does he have some industrial grade laser engraver or is he just a natural craftsman?
