      How would one “do the work” for creating a revolution? Do you understand what revolutionary leftists actually advocate for?

        I’m asking you what you are doing to create it, by asking like that it sounds like you’re not doing anything

          Why do you think anyone can “create” a revolution? That’s my point, you don’t know what revolutionary leftists actually want, so why are you asking such questions?

              Have you read anything written by the people leading those movements, perhaps? Do you know what their revolutionary strategy was?

                I wasn’t thinking you were a leader, I asked you to name anything you’ve done to further that revolution. And you’re being really evasive about it. It’s silly.

                Have you read anything written by the people leading those movements, perhaps? Do you know what their revolutionary strategy was?

                Yes to both. Can you just answer my question now?

                  I’m asking you to consider the framing of your question. Revolutions do not happen because people organize them, or because individuals start bombing the state. That’s adventurism, and more often than not results in turning people away from revolution unless already radicalized. They also do not happen by forcing conditions to get worse faster, that’s accelerationism.

                  I am from the United States, a country that depends on Imperialism, or unequal exchange with the global south, to inflate worker living standards and deradicalize the proletariat. As such, the conditions for revolution do not exist yet.

                  As such, I fulfill the role of any good leftist in the meantime. I donate to strike funds with what I can, learn and teach theory, protest and boycott, and organize.

                  What would you have me do otherwise, that does not fall within the category of adventurism? You can’t “make a revolution happen,” revolutions are a consequence of declining material conditions.
