can reactionary expressions of popular dissent be channeled into revolutionary causes?

they can, though probably though mass hysteria and violence mostly.

i dont think so. if it's a reactionary sentiment in itself it's more likely to turn the revolutionary sentiment alongside it into support for reaction. for example, "make the jewish bankers pay for their world crisis" as a slogan would be actively harmful to revolutionary causes because it would divert dissent against the system as a whole into dissent against a bogeyman.

maybe you had something else in mind though, you should explain more

liberal reactionary dissent is also harmful. formulating the problem in moral terms like "too much greed" is attractive to a lot of people but acts as a barrier to real progress

at this point i've figured out that i like and for a long time have made a habit of hanging out with socialists anarchists and other far leftists in america because they are weirdo outcast nerds who are sometimes very intelligent and very sensitive but i only care a tiny bit about communist or anarchist theory or anything and find discussing politics boring apart from making concrete plans or keeping up on world events



all the communists i know are cool guys at ease in social situations and well-liked by everyone

Stalin rejects your moral absolutism, Henry. If moving rebellious ethnic populations helped the long-term stability of the communist project, it was right. You can justify anything this way. It's really good.

"Workers of the world have no country" – or did you forget about that little pamphlet called the communist manifesto??

i know 2 communists and the only thing they seem to have in common is that theyre paradoxically sexually promiscuous recluses. i guess they all must be like that.
