comrade swamp was wrong about the gardening thing, but the general point still stands.

Huey P. Newton: “In this country the anarchists seem to feel that if they just express themselves individually and tend to ignore the limitations imposed on them, without leadership & without https://twitter.com/swampcommunist/status/1389563299847680009

“discipline they can oppose the very disciplined, organized, reactionary state. This is not true. They will be oppressed as long as imperialism exists. You cannot oppose a system such as this unless you oppose it with organization that’s even more extremely disciplined and

dedicated than the structure you’re opposing.

I can understand the anarchists wanting to go directly from state to non-state, but historically it’s incorrect.

the anarchists were unable to offer a structural program to replace the DeGaulle government. So the people were forced

to turn back to DeGaulle.”

& i think this is a broad indictment of self-styled revolutionary movement in the imperial core more generally, especially among the (mostly white) Marxists-Leninists.

i always see tweets about “we ain’t even gone get free” in response to reactionary

behavior but the fact of the matter is: if we lose the impending class war, it’ll be no bc of reactionaries, but bc the self-styled communist revolutionaries failed to building the programs and institutions necessary for the people to throw their trust, support, and lives behind+

the revolution.

when comrade @cuntainmentt says “learn to garden, buy a gun” this is a rhetorical way of saying get organized.

but the problem in the failures of communist party building over the last 75 years lies not in the division of tendency among revolutionaries, per se.

rather, the problem is with the evolution of capital as not only a relationship between individual revolutionaries, but the acquisition of wealth within their organizations as a source of revolutionary praxis.

that is: they (MLs) misunderstands Marx and Engels observation that+

capitalism provides for the technological advancements necessary to achieve socialism, reinterpreting it (to put it mildly) as using the *system of capitalism* to effect socialist economic policy, instead of using the *fruits of capital* (infrastructure, instant communication,

industry, etc) to make them better, more active communists revolutionaries.

people like to say that “if you are not in an organization, you are not a Communist”, but what use is an which in function only acts as a charity? organization if it isn’t endeavoring on

“organization, agitation, [and] mass economic struggle against the capitalist state?

what use is an organization which doesn’t “offer a structural program to replace the [capitalist] government”?

this doesn’t just apply to anarchists, it applies to all of us. just look around

it is very obvious to those of us who are deeply studied in not only revolutionary theory, but the delicate intricacies of warfare&anti-colonialism that most of the revolutionaries here do not know how to fight — much less how to win — the class war for which you agitate.

as i wrote in Anarcho-Neo-Marxism: The New Infantile Disorder, all the Marxists-Leninists in the imperial core have given us are ideal opportunism, chauvinism, dead party organs, dead initiatives, and dead workers. and the reason for this is very simple.

beyond the fact that, at every critical revolutionary juncture, the white working class abandons solidarity with the peasants and colonized proletariat (often at the directions of their Labor and Party Bosses), revolutionary movement in general since the destruction of

the Black Panther Party, The Young Lords, and the greater Black Liberation/Decolonization Movement have failed to produce anything that even resembles socialism, much less communist revolution.

and why? bc we have confused the goals of revolution w the process of building one.

we try to organize parties without first organizing cadres.

we try to propagandize with rhetoric instead of with physical deeds.

we try to agitate the state without proper support, training, or knowledge of the enemy position.

we try fighting before we’ve built anything.

the self-styled communist revolutionaries here have fallen into the second international, mistaking socialist mode of production for revolution, bc they model themselves after capital, bc— again, in the words of Huey P. Newton— “look to the past to get answers about the present”

but we have to recognize that revolution in the 21st century— in the shadow of a planetary war empire — cannot be fought like it was in backwater kingdoms and feudal europe.

the productive forces of capitalism have reached an apex, there is nothing more that capitalism can offer

the revolution.

we need to abandon the social democratic monstrosities that threaten to up end the revolutionary energy the masses of unorganized people have been able to generate the last four years.

what’s important to understand is that the capitalist state (bc this is+

what we mean when we say “capitalism”) is the ruling class’ system of organization — one which exists only to manage, communicate, and deliver surplus onto the bourgeoisie — and starts to be utilized *first* as a weapon of discipline against those whom have been disposed.

*THIS* is where the revolution starts. not with disaffected white workers whom have proven time and again that they are uninterested in purposeful revolution. not with intelligentsia too busy doing podcasts and campaigning on behalf of soft-imperialists to lead the people.

revolution starts with the hungry, and the homeless, and the sick, and the under classes devoid of class consciousness. with the peasants and oppressed internal colonies rendered unemployable.

revolution starts when we build the people an alternative system.

revolution starts with the understanding that if capitalism is not merely an issue, than neither can socialism be

the only definition of socialism that matters is a scientific one, and that means “socialism can only ever be the scientific processes which produce communist praxis

“all manners of principled organization, agitation, [and] mass economic struggle against the capitalist state. The revolutionary, evolutionary methods which shall give rise to an interconnected, and thus moneyless, and thus classless, and thus stateless people. The economic,+

environmental, and sociocultural sustainability of the whole world. A rising proletariat. The forceful overthrowing of imperialism. The usurpation of the state domains. The end of history. *A society in motion.*”

*this* is what our movement lacks.

it’s lacks a clearly defined and common vision, interest, and i’ve lab of action. it lacks the foundations and infrastructure to conduct any meaningful communist praxis, much less communist revolution. it lacks principle, and discipline, and proper practical training.

the goal of any principled communist revolutionary should be to make their own necessity obsolete. so, we must get in with the business of “organization, agitation, [and] mass economic struggle” against the capitalist state that doesn’t slip into the parliamentary slough

or rely on capitalistic organizational structures to operate.

we only have ten years before our delicate ecosystems begin to collapse — not ten years to save them, that time has passed. but ten years before it’s too late and we start witnessing extinction level catastrophe.

we need to wake up, and get serious.

all of us. not just the anarchists. not just the white Marxists-Leninists.

if we don’t all wake up, this flowery rhetoric and communist posturing will have been for nothing. and your children will become victims of climate apartheid.

communism or extinction bros,

choose.
