I guess I find the current obsession with russo-ukrianian conflict strange and maybe even counter productive given the tasks that are at hand right now like rebuilding the lefts organizational capacity creating local connections and services things that are more fun then rust-darkness watching a war you know from across the ocean or like cheer leading for brics or whatever because its not like that effects really anything unless leaders of foreign or a senator goes on hexbear which would be equally funny and maddening. I guess I don’t just want to left to be a sub culture forever.

I work with two organizations in my area since they are the only to exist.

We got so much shit to do we need more people analyzing in real time and producing theory and praxis at the same time. You know walk and chew bubblegum, like I find it hard to find people besides like 3-4 American commentary that produce new Marxist anaylist on the current econmy.

    Hard to organize anything IRL through the internet because of feds, hard to organize anything IRL through IRL means because we’re alienated as all hell. I think even as we do organize IRL any online discussions in a place like Hexbear will tend to be about international issues because… it’s an international board.

    I also think it’s not without merit to be invested on these issues anyway. The biggest and most important technology capital developed to extend its lifespan is imperialism, to try to act independent of that is going to lead to some social imperialist, reactionary strands of leftism that die out quickly. But still, you raise a valid point that if we don’t produce criticisms of the current state of the economy we lose out on an important chunk of what we should be doing.
