Radical Leftist since 16 years old

Socialism is never going to happen is it? I'm already developing a receding hairline and there's been no indication that the Revolution is going to happen.

Read theory and organize with fellow communists.

oh wow 7 whole years. i cant believe the global capitalist hegemony didnt collapse in less than a decade

yes revolution will not happen within your lifetime, go full annil

It's become extremely unlikely to happen in our lifetimes, but that doesn't mean the next few generations have to be completely fucked.


You're just having a personal crisis then, user. Hereditary baldness is nothing to be ashamed of.

Socialism has become more acceptable than ever in mainstream discourse and the youth are further left than they have been in decades. The key to break free from the hopeless inaction the left has been stuck in is to organize actual leftist groups. Start a reading group OP! Even if things are hopeless you'll still be able to meet friends who share a common interest with you!

im sure this is a reasonable analysis and not just a reductive excuse for hedonism

That's not even a boom-bust cycle of capitalism.

Our next shot is gonna be in the next ~5 years when China implodes. Can't say if we'll do anything about it though.

I've been a leftist for more than a decade and trust me when I say things are looking a lot better for us than before Occupy. No reason to lose hope when the public is increasingly moving to our side.

The best thing you can do is influence those around you to leftism. In any successful case, that will at least show there is hope in your immediate circle of friends and/or family. Besides, you have likely 60-70 years left unless you are living in some imperialized shithole.

Am 31 soon.
It's either socialism or the end of the world as we know it. (AKA new dark age, worse than the last one).

As long as we exist, there is hope.

Socialism will almost certainly happen in our life times. You realize Socialist revolutions happened within a lifetime right? We were born in almost the perfect time.
If you can't fix the receding hairline, you better shave it or you will look fucking dumb.

To be a revolutionary socialist is much like being the keeper of a great garden. To strive for the revolutionary struggle, much like tending to a garden, is to understand that your efforts are towards something greater than yourself, and that you may not live to sit in the shade of a great tree which you yourself have planted.

I like this. That's an artful way of putting it.

Besides, it's not all doom and gloom, there are good times to be had in left wing politics, get involved with protests, local groups, local politics…

Industrial capitalism has been around for

...

There are no other communists in real life, we are all alone.

No friends.
No girlfriend.
No future.
Nothing.

Just us and those happy couples kissing on the street.

/r9k/ is probably the most susceptible to left-converting
all of them hate wage slaving and love the NEET lifestyle
just convince them capitalism is for normies and voila

bout 2 give up fam

why isnt killing myself a preferable alternative

I'm gonna respond to this bullshit the same way I did last time this shit was posted: the falling rate of profit means that not only must capitalism be thrown into periodic crises, but these crises become harder to solve as the rate of profit approaches zero. This means it's only a matter of time before capitalism enters into a crisis that either results in its abolition or destroys civilisation. It's not gonna happen in the next couple of years (or even decades), but if current tends continue to hold this will probably happen somewhere around the middle of the century.

Damn that screenshot damn near made me cry

Dude, just kill yourself already.

Where are Strinerposters when you need them ?

time to grow a goatie and to start working on that revolution

Reddit's that way fam

You need to get as bald as Lenin for socialism to happen.

My prediction is that it will actually happen by at least the mid 2020s.

I have a 16 year career in IT. People really don't grasp the effeciency revolution it brought. I remember seeing an old film about GM made in the 40s. They showed a typing pool of at least a thousand women filling out forms to track all the parts being brought to the line, that entire room has been replaced by a single server, millions fold increase in efficiency and economy.

But the gains are all tapped out. That why we are getting ridiculous shit like big data and self driving cars. All big data does is litterally jump on any correlation it finds and tries to profit on it. It often works but what caused it, big data, or the fact that most companies are oligopolies so anyone or any part of the market they focus on is likely to produce profit, since there is no real alternative.

Google is shit, it's not half as good as regular old television in terms of ad ROI. Google keeps all their shit secret cause they know it to, the YouTube ad apocalypse was really about the advertisers having enough of it.

you're me down to the hairline

except im not a bitch who expects humanity to progress to a new mode of production in the span of 7 years. fuedalism didnt end in a generation, or even a lifetime, either

I'm not even worried tee bee aytch my G's

Life goes on, This is really a question of whether you actually believe in the dialectic.

Come Join Action Front

No it is not. Because it is fucking LARPing and Marx's theories have no grounds in reality. Grow the fuck up
