6 years agoI don’t actually call myself a communist, not because I despise the word and think it has too much historical baggage, but because I have a deep reverence for the label and as such do not feel I deserve it at the present moment. If someone wants to label me a communist though, I would not reject it.
Unfortunately for me, actual out and open organizing might land me in a prison cell, so I’ve been working on radicalizing people around me at the moment during this current economic downturn. Not having too much success at the moment because my immediate circle is full of labour aristocracy/petty bourgeoisie types and oh boy are they difficult to convince.
Even this has to be done with the utmost caution these days. The liberals, shameless as ever, delight to turn our every word into weapons for their agendas. Just earlier this week, they wielded Angela Davis’ opinion on voting for Joe Biden against us, while also conveniently ignoring her positions (things she’s known for I might add) on abolition and of course communism.
I basically hold the view that if someone wishes to criticize AES states they should do it to my face offline in a private setting or behind closed doors between comrades (also offline). Give the libs an inch and they will take a goddamn light-year. We’ve all seen what the precious nuance of the DSA types have led us to with regards to VZ and Bolivia.
