Right wing conspiracy theorists: “YOU’LL SEE! IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE CHINESE COMMUNIST JEWISH MUSLIM SATANISTS ACTIVATE THEIR SPACE LASERS TO TURN THE EARTH INTO A SPHERE AND USE VACCINES TO RAISE CTHULHU FROM THE DEAD AND SNAP THE INFINITY GAUNTLET AND”
Left wing conspiracy theorists: “Ah shit we got proven right again.”
There are three types of conspiracy theories:
- Lizard people live in the hollow earth and mind control world leaders
- The CIA admitted it on the Congressional record 40 years ago
- The Enemy of the State zone, where it’s plausible but unconfirmed
Understanding why and how the US Empire is dying and what needs to be done to bring about Socialism is comforting.
Fuck it, shameless plug: check out my “Read Theory, Darn it!” introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list if you don’t know where to start but want to begin with theory.
But only if you’re doing what needs to be done.
What is to be done?
Really good book! A little bit inaccessible in the first two chapters though.
Jokes aside, a good start is to join a socialist org, participate, and start developing yourself politically. I believe cowbee has a good reading list.
Here’s the “Read Theory, Darn it!” introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list you mentioned. Also plugged it elsewhere on the thread, lol
I just wanted to say thanks for the curated reading list.
No problem! Made it after the US election, because I thought it would be a good opportunity to help people understand what’s going on and what we can actually do proactively. Glad you like it!
Indeed, it’s far less stressful to watch these events unfold when you understand the underlying mechanics and why they’re happening.
Haha speak for yourself. Understanding the underlying mechanics makes it obvious what comes next and I kind of wish we could just skip that part. 😅
It’s not gonna be pretty that’s for sure. It’s still better to know what’s coming than to just have it happen to you.
every time I’ve “predicted” something and someone asked me how I knew, my answer was “this already happened in 20xx, you should play mega man”
