  • Rosa Talks about it in Reform or Revolution in a way I always quote at social democrats because it's both funny and true:

    Fourier’s scheme of changing, by means of a system of phalansteries, the water of all the seas into tasty lemonade was surely a fantastic idea. But Bernstein, proposing to change the sea of capitalist bitterness into a sea of socialist sweetness, by progressively pouring into it bottles of social reformist lemonade, presents an idea that is merely more insipid but no less fantastic.

    It's still true a century later and SocDems (I include DemSocs in this category too) are no more radical.

  • I think it's hard to combat a century of red scare and we, as communists of various stripes, have to be able to deal with it. You can't do coalition building or agitprop without this knowledge. If you want to try and bring people in, you have to accept their biases and try and work with them in a lot of ways while educating them in order to either mitigate them entirely or minimise them. We want people who are empowered to do work in their communities and organise in their workplaces and you do that with education and understanding.
