He autistically dreams about spearheading the next revolution

Good excuse, I am using exactly same one.

If anyone should lead the revolution it should be the good boy in OP's pic

Most of us would probably be Trotsky tbh

yeah I don't think so user

Sign me up to betray the revolution honestly

now that's asking for it

I'm not a fan of personality cults.

This type of post is what happens when people learn to parrot Marxist-sounding terms like "bourgeois", "proletariat", "material conditions", "Ideology", "means of production" etc but never bother looking into what they actually mean.

And handsome!

Don't forget handsome.

it's kind of ironic that people who love acceleration spend all that time never ever accelerating, just sitting on that armchair.

That's because accelerationism is a meme, dumbo.

i'm gonna go to business school and start a hedge fund so i can contribute to financialization crises

They do allow it retard.

I fantasize about being the American Ocalan

I can't wait to end up in Guantanamo bay

...

I want to be the next bordiga

I never imagine myself as the next Lenin, but I do like to fantasize about a new revolutionary leader. It's just never me.

Though I guess trump pulled it off anyway so who knows

Who doesn't, right?

But I'll most likely never have the honor/opportunity/horror of seeing war. If I do, I'll be lucky if I turn out to be the next Unknown Red Soldier Sniped In Karelia Whose Body Was Thown On A 1.5m Pile Of Frozen Corpses.

Do pray tell, what would be these ideal material circumstances?

Oh yea, all the time. I realise it's unrealstic though and I'd be more than happy simply to help in a revolution any way I can under someone much greater than I.

...

I've fantasized about it quite a bit before… No way in hell could I do it alone, but if the proletariat was willing to follow and aid me, I'd gladly embrace my destiny and lead the charge to tear down the capitalist establishment. I already have a few ideas on certain practices in the revolution (particularly the trial and execution of the bourgeoisie), but one thing is for certain:

In order for true communism, a stateless and classless variant as Marx intended, to be possible, I would have to step down as leader once our communist utopia is fully constructed, allowing the proletariat to be self-ruling and autonomous. I couldn't possibly allow the temptation of power to go to my head following the success of the revolution. It's what's poisoned so many leaders before me, and I won't allow it to happen again, not after all we'd have done to get that far.

What do you guys think?

i fantasise about dying relatively forgotten in a revolution.
life under late says increasingly nervous man for the 5th time capitalism is barely worth living. how unfortunate that there's not yet anything worth dying for as a corollary.

A big face is a big face. You can try to be influential without being too powerful. Usually, a political operation is not done by just one, so if you try to spread out the power as much as you can and just become the influential focus point, you should be fine.

Lenin? I want to be the next Papa Stalin!

He's the one who made Trotsky into a complete retard. You'd better be a better Parvus tbh.

The conditions virtually everywhere relevant are ready for a communist revolution. Read Dauvé: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/francois-martin-and-jean-barrot-aka-gilles-dauve-eclipse-and-re-emergence-of-the-communist-move.

I do indeed prefer to fantasize about sending capies to the gulag and exterminating the right wing.

i day dream about a world without humans, every single day i day dream about a world without humans. I hope some day we will all get vaporized by aliens

You better be referring to Stalin, boi. Lenin was a hero.

The largest part of his rule, actually. The press under the Russia of Lenin has probably never been more free, and still isn't lol.

That said, the way he dealt with counter-revs and let the politburo do whatever, like order the Red Army to go crush some harmless anarkiddies at the harbor or decimate Makhnovia over some stolen ammo and counterfeiting was lame and on him.

No Lenin was a fucking degenerate sociopath and i would have gladly pushed him off a cliff given the chance.

Keep drinking that bourgeois kool-aid, friendo.
Anarchists openly make it their mission to destroy every sort of state - they are mortal enemies of any Marxist project and it's delusional to pretend we'll be perpetually on the same side.

You do realize Marx himself defined communism as stateless, right? Anarchists only have one aspect of real communism in mind. Stalin was a traitor to the good name of communism. Suck it.

Anarchists have terrible praxis and are innately incapable of cooperating, but leaving them confined to their little playgrounds is completely harmless to the cause and, as we've seen elsewhere where anarchists weren't persecuted (loadsa places), they end up joining Marxist communists or asking them for help anyways because their praxis is wholly incapable of dealing with bourgeois organization.

Also, a lot of smart anarchists themselves saw anarchism deviate from its otherwise very proper principles in their time: dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/malatesta/ForgottenPrinciples.html. Here Malatesta, one of the OG anarchists, critiques a large portion of international anarchism for falling into the temptation of bourgeois formulations of politics.

The problem isn't that Anarchists are opposed to the state, rather it is that in the opposition to any state they may jeopardise the efforts of the dictatorship of the proletariat in achieving its necessary function of eliminating the bourgeoisie. As such anarchists may prove to be enemies to Marxist efforts to establish socialism by acting in favour of the bourgeoisie.
Stalin wasn't perfect but he wasn't a traitor, just a tragic character caught in material conditions fundamentally unsuited for achieving communism.

I appreciate Lenin as much as the next user here but come on, he started gagging the press as soon as he was in the Winter Palace.

How so?

Marx was never literal when he spoke of this, you know. He was very poetic in a lot of his wording. "Dictatorship of the proletariat" is not a literal dictatorship or state, it simply refers to the self-ruling autonomy of the proletariat in their newfound freedom in the communist utopia.

You're paranoid, tankie. No better than fucking Stalin.

Well, the revolution won't revolve itself will it?
inb4 Leftcoms go "acshually"

He said that democracy is actually just the rule of one class, hence after the revolution we'll have the rule of proletariat. What's poetic about this?
