So we have some of the most based takes on the web, and we probably would be a good proletarian vanguard in our nations.

But how are we going to make our ideas a reality? Like, for example, instead of saying how based the USSR was, we (somehow) bring it back? Or we bring socialism to a smaller nation, like in the Global South? Or we do much smaller things than a revolution, like agitating and organizing.

What are we gonna do besides saying based things on here?

    I don’t think it’s an either/or thing. Yes, many (not all) imperial core citizens benefit from the spoils of imperialism in some shape or form, but for the many that understand being anti-imperialist on an emotional level and aim to resist, they still have chauvanism that is reinforced by large-scale psychological manipulation and relentless capitalist propaganda. I guess we could all endlessly debate on which variable is the dominant influence at any given moment, but both definitely play a part and reinforce each other.
