When I saw getfiscal start posting a bunch of centrist liberal shit I figured he must be really drunk and fakeposting. I lurked OG LF for a long time where I was radicalized along with all the others of my ilk and I was there long enough to recognize most of the posters here today. A lot of y'all were Marxists if memory serves. I myself went fairly quickly from a reluctant belief in the Democrats and liberalism to defending state socialism as the only option. I thought that it would last forever... those were the best days of my life.
Here we are though, and I've noticed a general disillusionment with the ideologies of yesterday. I myself spent a lot of time trying to figure out a good reason to hold hope that any day now material conditions would shift such that proletarian revolution would soon be sweeping the world. The more I read books that aren't authored by Chairman Mao though, the more I lost any real faith in The Coming Storm. I see the merit in getfiscal's criticisms of Zizek and Badiou's attempts to keep Marxist class structure relevant and his subsequent flight to centrism. I understand Tsargon's attraction conservative revolution and the idea that first world citizens could work towards seeing conditions improve in their countries today. I fully identify with everything impper wrote about being a hipster pipsqueak. I feel sort of like a red guard after the victory of the capitalist roaders. What is to be done or worked towards? Various large projects or philosophies and programs of personal action seem appealing for awhile before I completely lose interest and see them as futile and far-flung. In the end I return to a general state of being without any direction.
