Okay, so what's the plan?
Well, I’ve read a lot of theory, and I’m pretty sure our best bet is posting memes online, crossing our fingers, and hoping for the best. We definitely shouldn’t go outside and talk to people, that’ll never work
Communism would have taken hold in 19th Century Germany if the Rheinische Zeitung had a meme section
Maybe get a beret? But will it look weird if I wear a beret with my Che Guevara t-shirt?
Revive Lenin and have some stroke medication on hand?
Sounds like a fun and comfy gathering
I for one think we should continue with the way things are. Obviously the people who own companies like Tesla and Amazon are better than us. We should be happy to have a job tbh. Seriously, why would I want to be burdened with decisions like whether or not I get healthcare, or whether or not food and education is accessible. We are better off letting the market decide. If education was so important, wouldn't the market find a way to make money off of it?

Hell yeah
I'm a socialist but this needs the obligatory:
"Fuck Lenin™"
So you are a bad socialist
Marx is the theory , Lenin is the practice
Marx wasn't the only socialist of his time, though history has deemed him certainly the most important.
Lenin on the other hand...
Nothing about the theory required Lenin to overthrow the results of a democratic election in 1917
Nothing about the theory required Lenin to backstab and crush his anarchist allies in Ukraine.
Nothing about the theory required Lenin crushing anarchism/syndicalism in Russia.
Nothing about the theory required Lenin banning all dissent even within the Communist party.
By the time of Lenins death, he had put in place all the institutions and levers of control that Stalin would later use to brutalize the population, all the worst parts of the Great Purge can be connected back to the systems that Lenin put in place.
Lenin had immense opportunities for positive change as the leader of the first socialist nation, however he squandered it completely by his purge of any ideals that weren't his own, and his project turned into a dictatorship. Meanwhile the Democratic Socialists and Anarchists that Lenin loved to berate helped build societies that are now infinitely better to live in and more open to change from the working class than any of the modern countries inspired by his ideology.
You can say "Marx is the theory , Lenin is the practice" but it's much more accurate to say, Marx is the theory, Lenin is a practice, and not the best one historically.
