      Nah I’ve studied political science at the graduate level and this is pretty much spot on.

      we don’t “wait” for a revolution nor do we expect it to magically fix anything.

      We do wait for material conditions to align (our own or our community’s). Movements needs a cataclyst. Not every moment is ripe for sweeping change.

      And we absolutely expect revolutions to improve life dramatically - often simply by removing the corrupt oligarchs mismanaging the system.

      But these are pragmatic approaches to economic management, not magical resolutions to human world events.

      but i guess it’s easier to be ignorant than to at least learn what leftism even is.

      It’s easier to believe in the End of the World for some people than the End of Capitalism.

      you don’t, and that’s good, but that doesn’t make it universal. as for the split between these 2 types, idk so I won’t even guess

          Bingo. In my experience people hear “revolution is necessary” and tune out the rest. Expectations need to be grounded, organizing is boring yet necessary.

      There definitely are those that do though I think

      And tbh I think the more relevant thing that is pointed out here are those that call anyone doing any sort of electoralism/reformism liberals who are worthless. Which, yea, by itself isn’t gonna fully fix society but I’d at least rather people suffer less in the meantime
