Wild that you’re comparing revolutionary optimism to self help books. I’ll have to let Fred Hampton, Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh know.

“The most immediate antidote to nihilism is revolutionary optimism. Revolutionary optimism isn’t rooted in a blind hope that change will come at some unknown point in the future. It is cultivated by the acknowledgement that only through participation in the struggle to liberate the people can the lives of the people be transformed. Revolutionary optimism is bolstered by a deep curiosity in and knowledge of the history of class struggle. Social change is treated as a science, one with distinct properties and elements that are both inevitable and profoundly dependent upon the actions taken by the people.”

Lotta lib comments here so I’ll reiterate again: REVOLUTIONARY OPTIMISM IS ESSENTIAL!

Really funny that people here are bashing JT’s video considering the positive work he does educating and encouraging people to join orgs and be active.

Good post

Helmed by the director of Napoleon Dynamite no less!

Yes! It’s actually their most watched YouTube upload.

Respectfully disagree with the mods decision to delete this. Equating Hasan with AOC is an ignorant statement to make due to evidence of him being far more radical than her. Thus any attempt for me to reply to their argument in good faith, I feel, is tainted from the get-go.

Remember when BE labeled himself a journalist? What happened to that?

Now I know for sure this is BE

lol

What? lol

I’m not even a rabid follower of his stuff and like I said in the OP, dude’s not perfect, but he isn’t nearly as bad as people talk about.

Found BE’s alt

I don’t take issue with him because he’s constantly attacking the dems, raising money for Palestine, was a guest on the Deprogram, and straight up said in a recent stream that “the revolution won’t be voted in”.

Even Hasan would agree with this analysis lol.

That being said, he did say in a recent stream that “you aren’t going to vote the revolution in” so I’d say he’s more then a “treatbrained streamer”.

Hasan is just following in the footsteps of AOC

Deeply unserious lol

Like someone on here comparing PSL to trots.

What “incomplete information”? What sources do you want? Twitter links? lol

Get over yourself. Even if I gave you what you wanted, you would come up with another excuse and another and another. All to prove you were right in deleting my post.

Also getting too close to a fence is flimsy justification for peace policing. Not like people were advocating violence or even property destruction from the evidence in this post.

I mean…

This is an activist who was on the ground.

I didn’t post that the police intervened. The screenshot did and I only used it because that was the main post that was gaining traction on social media (it was from Unicorn Riot). Of course, in the time since, new information has come to light that changes how the events happened (this info may have come up sooner if you didn’t delete my initial post).

Also nowhere was I being sectarian. I actually like a lot of PSL folks.

Whatever makes you sleep well, I guess.

Well as it turns out from users who were actually there and are active in these orgs, they didn’t call the police on them, so…
