The much bigger problem is the apathy and stupidity of the average person.
Every single person in Western countries has enough information to see through the bullshit of the political class and they have the power to vote them out. But they don’t. They don’t want to be bothered by actually taking responsibility, they just want someone else to blame. Jews, immigrants, gays, doesn’t matter.
Many will argue with propaganda, but most of the propaganda is extremely blatant. You’ll only believe it, if you want to believe it. It may solidify resentments, but it won’t create them out of nowhere.
Even if it’s true that people are stupid (which is also a narrative pushed which ensures apathy) that is completely irrelevant. Why is it that these apparently stupid people believe the “wrong thing”? Well, it’s the same as always. The capitalists are better organized than us, and those supporting them know of no other alternatives. So for a successful revolution the oppressed class needs to get better organized (which IS happening, albeit slowly).
If YOU feel apathetic, please find a socialist/communist/radical left party/group and join it. It can help immensely
i’ve done this and we accomplished little more than a few demonstrations that went completely unnoticed and some phone calls that were never returned; not all party/groups are helpful.
Rome was not built in a day; the People’s Republic of Rome will take even longer. Keep at it, it’s the only way forward.
