Lead

[matrixmann]

Aufklärung allein macht noch keine Veränderung aus, wenn man sie nicht gepaart mit einem Konzept liefert wie es anders laufen könnte.

Throwing light on things on its own does't lead to make change happen, if you do not bring it up with some kind of concept that tries to lay down a better way.

Well, I'm in such a position that I better do not wait for what's going to happen.
No need to say that I'd prefer it not to be helter skelter 'cause then you truly don't know what's gonna happen. I only expect the worst of mankind in that scenario.

I am not saying you should wait I am just saying objectively the conditions should be right. History is an objective process and it is the main idea of materialism. It is a combination of waiting for the right conditions and working on the strategy so when it happens you are fully prepared and act.

Hm... Regard it that way: I don't want to put hopes into lucky accidents. Hopes are just illusions where you don't know if they come true at all. Not a very reliable source to build material circumstances on.

And... sometimes you feel alone, but that's only a feeling, not a fact. Sometimes there are some more out there which think similar to you, it only needs a call to make them visible.
Actually I should know that best.

Not lucky accidents but objective reality. Part of materialism. If you try to change something on your own when there is not objective prerequisite you will end up like Russian SRs at the end of the 19th century. Marx wrote about all of this. No need to reinvent the wheel. And Lenin successfully used his theory so this is what everyone should refer to.

I know about not getting evolution of things pushed. It's not that what I mean.
...Call it "looking for allies" or something like that. One person can't change everything, it needs a network. Superman simply doesn't exist, he's only a comic figure.
Also, other fractions already have begun the same. Gathering, linking, exchanging their key points what they want and see if an alliance fits.
Compared to the left, the far right is in that advantage, no matter if it's factually wrong or not what they believe in, but they believe deeply in the nonsense they preach. And people eat from their hands like doves in the park. They literally got no problem in finding anyone to follow them, it's just the circumstances playing into their hands. And as people are as stupid as always, and the other fractions do their best to provoke a reaction like "when I'm not ought to think so, I think so even the more!", it doesn't look to me like the best option to just watch and sit idly by while the links develop that should better be yours, if you want to survive.

It's a little hard explainig; I end up again at the last point of the discussion where I told you "wait until November".
It would maybe explain some things I have in mind, but I want to keep silent about that subject until then.

In this case, I did get what you mean and I agree that it is a right strategy. Of course rightists get followers because they use lies and deceptions. And people like to be fooled. Because it is easier this way.

That is definitely true: we desperately need allies.

And even if you are not alone, the masses make history and still SRs would be a good example how things should not be done.
