one of my biggest pet peeves is when people--often in an attempt to sound radical--use 'revolutionary' to mean 'good'. like. "it's revolutionary to love yourself" "it's revolutionary just to survive" no the fuck it isn't. it's good to love yourself, it's good to survive; it's revolutionary to seize power as the armed working class!

#Revolution by nature involves the masses. Revolutionary thought does not exist at the individual level.#Concerns of ‘’self-love’’ and ‘’self care’’ are individualistic by nature.#Revolutionary thought seeks to fundamentally change the (capitalist) system by analyzing the roots of exploitation and how capitalism #proliferates. How best to overthrow capitalism and uplift communism. It relates very little to the individual experiences of coping #under capitalism. Again. IT’S GREAT YOU LOVE YOURSELF! It’s NOT revolutionary!#pol #re: Anarchism or Socialism by Stalin #‘’The liberal uses the radical’s language to achieve the conservative’s aim…#the preservation of the capitalist system and the traditional ethnic/racial hierarchy within society’’
