It's not looking at them that's the problem, it's the obsessing and worshipping part.
I've read recently that the vanguard structure of the Bolsheviks didn't even emerge until a few years into the Civil War.
Too many self-described Communists today act like religious cultists who worship a few dead guys, and maintain a single-minded belief in some rapture-like "Revolution Day" where they can re-enact some dumbed-down of events that happened in 1917-1923. I believe this approach is misguided and counterproductive to the needs of the people here and now.
One of the reasons I critically root for the other side is that they have literally blown up redditors. At least somebody gets to live the dream.
Thalassophobia is a big thing for a reason. This is what happens when somebody disrespects the ocean.
For anticapitalist content from Turtle Island, I think we need to start looking for and platforming more Black and Indigenous decolonial content creators. Ones who can take the lessons from the past and apply them to the conditions of the here and now. There are already many people like this on TikTok. Personally I wouldn't put too much trust in big Twitch streamers, but that's just my take.
Nah that's too hard. Let's all just worship some billionaire and when anything bad happens blame some other country. /sarcasm
