Is this what the Leftist movement has degraged into?
Perhaps there is no one perfect formula for Socialism. Perhaps the works of Engel, Marx, Lenin, Mao, Che and so forth can be applied to different places under different circumstances.
Perhaps, just perhaps, certain places would react better to socialist reform than open protracted people's war? And perhaps other places would react better to violent rebellion than political stagnation?
Perhaps some countries have a larger peasant and farmer population than industrialized workers? Perhaps certain countries rely more on the Hammer than the Sickle?
I have experienced, just on this board, more ignorance, elitism, prejudism and stagnation than I ever thougth possible outside of a Racist-oriented, hate-breeding group. To see Leftists ridicule, mock, argue with and insult one another to the extent I have seen here is overwhelmingly disheartening -- especially considering it is over mere differences of opinion on the ideology we have all come here to share our loyalty for.
Because one man believes in the way of the gun does not mean the man who believes in the way of the social reform is wrong, and vice versa. Different aspects of Socialism can be applied to different areas, wherever needed -- because I can assure you, that no one system of Communism will ever, ever bind the thousands of different ideologies together under one roof. Only tolerance, understanding, and the acceptance of the need for Unity can do that. And that is one thing that this movement seems to be lacking the most.
To all the Strikers: Strike!
To all the Marchers: March!
To all the Protesters: Protest!
To all the Fighters: Fight!
To all the Reformers: Reform!
Unity - We are all under the same flag.
