It is of my humble opinion, that this form of glorified pessimism in liberal society is as infectious as any real disease. It saps at our hopes, glorifies inaction, enables misanthropy and creates nothing but a cult of bitchiness with regards to “pressure groups”.

Marxism, or much of leftism for that matter, isn’t about perpetuating pessimism - it’s about creating an abundance of hope for our people, and granting the downtrodden a way out of the misery. This form of the culture industry, this commodification of depression, does nothing to help folk who manage mental illness on a regular basis - it merely makes us complicit in our misery, rather than seek to change it materially.

Always unfortunate when these very same apparent “leftists” prove my point. It’s all about clout scoring for such folk, about always “being morally superior”, not about actually bringing about change. They couldn’t care less for such a prospect to begin with! It is no wonder that such counter-gangs within our movement exist solely for the purposes of spreading bitterness, hatred and ignorance - not class consciousness.

Many also seem to forget that this was a key reason for bringing down many communist movements - exploiting internal divisions, not direct violence.

"Moscow is Burning" is a play written for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 1905 revolution.
