this basically serves the same purpose as QAnon shit on the right. it projects itself as an aggressive form of political engagement, but it’s really just a retreat into fantasy and nihilism

> No less insidious is the cry for 'revolution,' at a time when not even the germs of new institutions exist, let alone the moral and political consciousness that could lead to a basic modification of social life.

The difference is that Q Anon has numbers in the street and the Stalin people are just really good at drawing political class attention to themselves online. I cannot stress how much you can ignore them. You go to a big DSA meeting and there are maybe 2 of those dudes there. They represent nothing.

They learned it from QAnon and MAGA spaces. Since it felt like those groups "won" and "got their way" their tactics must be better than other tactics. Whole premise of the "dirtbag left," really.

But Republicans consider QAnon as an important part of their constituency and have actually showed up in person to hang folks. Dems are still mad some activists said “defund the police”.

People do need to wake up to the fact that electoral politics alone is insufficient for effecting the urgent, necessary change long overdue. Those who can only come up with electoral solutions to severe threats to people's freedom, health, sanity, etc, are profoundly lacking in imagination.

Don’t worry, dude. Che is still alive and is in the United States. Once we follow the Xanax crumbs, we’ll be able to activate him. It’s all part of the plan.
