    Yeah, I touched on it a bit, but they just flat out seem to think that the entire “masses” will just join their revolution if they demand they PPW on the internet hard enough. It feels like they don’t understand the concept of the vanguard party very well, or the idea of allowing “neutrality” for people who don’t want to put their lives (or their loved one’s lives) at risk.

    And I agree, it does often feel like their ideas rely on the idea of someone else doing all the hard work, and they just get to do the “fun bits” of the revolution, they seem to love adventurism as well, which I think is quite telling, they don’t want to focus on hard work and dealing with largely indifferent masses, they want to do a cool “movie moment” that just impresses the people so much that they spontaneously join the revolution. Which is probably why they don’t care about winning the people’s support through direct action, because to them, some big magical spontaneous event will occur that will make the people rise up.
