Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 1 week agoI didn’t actually say socialism though, did I? I mean, I’m a socialist, but I think we have to just focus on shitting on the rich, because it’s easy and people will be able to join in.
I’m also not ruling out throwing actual shit at the rich.

If your only platform is uniting on hatred, and have no actual plans in place for improvement, you just become terrorists, rather than revolutionaries. Something being “easy” doesn’t mean it is effective. Lenin actually wrote about such a group, the Socialist Revolutionaries, in the article Revolutionary Adventurism.
Hating the Capitalists is well and good, but without a unified plan to replace them, the hate becomes the goal and nothing gets better.
