Along With The Rise Of Tankies Due To The US' Teaching Of Communist History, The Biggest Problem With
Along with the rise of Tankies due to the US' teaching of Communist history, the biggest problem with the New Left is, largely, laziness and romanticism.
Many Leftists refuse the, to be frank, privilege, and responsibility, of going to the ballot box, instead opting for revolution, or, as one put it to me, 'burning down a walmart'. I do not wish to condemn those whose hearts are passionate enough to incite a revolution, yet I urge them not to cling to ideals; the idea of most European Countries having free (as free as you can get in Capitalism) elections would make Marx proud of our successes in our modicum of progress, as imperfect as it is, yet I see so many openly doing away with the work of our lost comrades.
I say also to those who refuse the ballot that we fulfill more responsibilities when voting than merely voting from reverence and fear, rather, we vote for those who may be affected in the victory of our opposition. Therefore, when we vote to save our comrades, we not only save them, but we also may gain a sibling in arms, whereas, if we disregard their interests in lieu of idealism, we may lose them as a comrade; we may lose a fighter in a revolution.
I also implore those who refrain from 'burning the walmart' to also consider direct action, for these our tools that must be used in tandem
Thus, by voting we not only allow ourselves time to prepare for Fascism, but we also have the potential to save live, and aid the revolution.

I like how we are calling them Communist because they are executing billionaires, but not asking why China has billionaires. Like damn, did they hide from the red guards until Deng came to free them? lol
Something to be said about how ironic it is that some people in the US celebrating the assassination still view the revolutionary justice of communist parties as evil. Like, killing billionaires is good but only when it’s disorganized.
Anyways, if you like the execution of an exploitative insurance CEO, then you’ll love the People’s Republic of China!

The euphoria of not being able to scratch an itch for ~30 seconds and finally itching it.
I do think that US communists should be doing more to engage in mutual aid—just not in the ad hoc disorganized way anarchists suggest. Food banks and meals programs are rather prevalent in US cities, yet also incredibly disorganized and pressed for resources. They are functionally a part of the capitalist system right now, where a portion of the surplus food that would go to waste is distributed to the working poor by means of depoliticized organizations often disconnected from the communities they serve.
Imo, communists could greatly strengthen our connection to the masses by developing a systematized and politicized network of mutual aid, not in place of mass work but as a bridge between the organization’s political work and the lower strata of the working class.
