I was sitting here thinking about what I heard in class about a month ago. My teacher said to our whole class "Weak pencil neck communist in this country around the world are not doing nothing to help the cause of socialism." In a way I agree with him. I read these communist web sites and think "Are they living in reality." One site states that they are trying to win the communist idea in the ballet box. THIS WILL NEVER WORK!!!!! Do you think Che or Lenin won the revolution by voting on it. I don't think so.

Lenin and Che fought in countries that were weak at the time. THe people were mad, they hated the government. They were willing to fight.

Look the fuck around you, the US aint exactly ripe for a revolution just yet.

Wait till the people feel the government has failed them, then the revolution will happen

The closest that ever came were during the late 60's, early 70's because of the Vietnam War and Watergate.

Too bad most of the protests and organizations were run by young idealistic hippies, and the ones that were organized, had no inside power in the gov't. They were soon assassinated or spied on with no mercy. If only a renegade Senator or General had organized something, maybe things would have been different now. Oh well....

The revolution is coming comrades. Cant you feel it? Its in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breath. The very blood that pulses in our veins betrays the disillutionment people have for the failures of capitalism. The question is not a case of if it will happen but when.....

Don't forget Lardlad, Che said that the conditions for revolution do not need to pre-exist in order to carry out a guerilla war--the conditions will form themselves.

Personally, I don't agree with that; look at Bolivia.
