After learning about the positive flank effect, I'm beginning to see the utility of revolutionaries.
Since revolutionaries are great at using sexy slogans to catalyse the anger and grievance of the masses into action, they are able to apply pressure to the status quo.
By extension, the reformists and pragmatists (the people who actually understand statecraft and make systems durable) get taken seriously by the pressured ruling class which ultimately leads to positive change.
The only caveat is to ensure revolutionaries never actually attain power, else be prepared for state of constant unrest, civil wars, structural collapse and terror 🥴

@iyefuu @thezeitgeistnow What does that loony think being grounded in one's positions mean?

@M_Ann_C_hilist I had the intuition, but I didn’t know a theory about it existed 😅😅

@Winter_Six It’s an idea I’m shocked people actually believe in. The koolaid is STRONG

@iyefuu Nobody went through revolutionary troubles just to hand over power to somebody else lol
"Restoring power to the people" is a cute slogan. "The people" are yourself, friends and colleagues in the revolution.
English

Correct.
These "revolutionaries" are useful for political upheaval & have the resolve needed to upset an entrenched system, but their ideas on how to run the country usually lead it to ruin & the possibility of more instability/conflict.
And that's the problem.

@iyefuu Yes, this is how welfare was born btw, in Germany

The mobilising power these guys have is intense.
For someone like me who is very grounded in my ideas and positions , I still end up going on a reading spree, whenever Marxists whack me on here lol.
Because the intensity they use is so scary, you wonder if there is something you’re actually missing.

@iyefuu You're supposed to be part of the intellectual vanguard and this is the type of low intelligent behaviour you've chosen to display publicly. This is my first impression of you and it has not been a pleasure so I will remember this interaction, Miss. Favour Iyefu.

@iyefuu But he has a point, just that it doesn't have to be "vicious bloody cleansing." It can come in other forms
Historically & unfortunately, violence cannot be removed from most society progress, as most nations industrialized through revolution, prolonged conflict or civil war.

@iyefuu You retweeted a deranged psychopath to my peaceful TL😭

@Iam_lazenza Look at this retard.
My dad is an erudite, a professor and someone who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge.
English

@iyefuu Your dad's a thieving politician, isn't he? I'll order his execution myself when the time comes.
English

@iyefuu These are the sons of Cain, the first murderer. Read that story, and you'll discover that his fundamental issue was that he wanted to have the same outcomes as his brother regardless of the relative quality of their efforts.
The murderousness is a feature, not a bug.
