Intellectuals, that is to say, professional intellectuals who work for the hacks at the corporate publishing industry, are always looking to sell new ideas, to think of the profound, and turns out, that’s a total waste of time.
Turns out that there’s very little originality left in the world that’s worth pursuing.
Roberto D’Aubuisson was a war criminal and junta leader in El Salvador, he would have his men throw babies who lived in suspected communist households into the air and then “skeet shoot” them with a shotgun.
That was pretty original, it was fucked up, but can’t argue with how that was a smidgeon beyond convention.
Point is: Let’s not be assholes here, let’s look at the big picture.
Humanity is backlogged when it comes to good ideas, from nuclear peace, to ending poverty. We got plenty of good ideas, we are overflowing with blueprints. What we need is literacy, what we need is to reinforce popular consciousness about good ideas. What we need is apostles.
We need people with strong convictions, with good study, with the sense to understand something time tested and meaningful. Last thing we need is another blueprint.
The main reason good ideas fail isn’t because they’re bad ideas, more often than not it’s because of guys like D’Aubussion murdering everyone who wants to improve upon life. The “failures” of radicalism comes from the liberal doctrine of how might makes right.
The Yoruban city of Benin in the Edo kingdom “failed” because it wasn’t fireproof enough when the British arrived.
The Xixime people “failed” because they weren’t bulletproof enough when the conquistadors arrived.
The Black Panthers “failed” because they weren’t capable of taking on the full force of the US federal government.
Turns out that a lot of failure is mainly about failure of being an asshole. When a liberal is killed, it’s a crime against humanity, when a communist is killed, it’s a personal failure on their part.
The Chinese failed apparently when Japan invaded them. The Soviets failed apparently when the Nazis invaded them. It’s a dangerous kind of brainwashing that is prevalent in every outlet of public information in the liberal world, from the TV screens to the college syllabus.
And if we keep believing in this doctrine of might make right, of how liberals are “failing” millions of people every year with climate disaster, poverty, war and world hunger, then we’re going to go extinct.
This is why we need apostles. People who study the same thing, who gain strong convictions, and who teach people about the realities of life. Because when we all band together, then suddenly it’s the fat cat’s turn to “fail.”
From Paris to Moscow, boy did they do a lot of “failing.”
Study Lenin, Study Marx, Study Ho Chi Minh, Study Sankara, Study Tito, Study Mao, Study Trotsky, Study Stalin, Study Luxemburg, Study Engels, Study all of it. Become a walking encyclopedia, become an apostle, read a thousand words for every word you speak. Become devoted to the truth and speak it from the mountaintops.
Reaction will always tell you to abandon knowledge, to abandon the lessons of history, to abandon the realities of life, they demand chauvinism, in which the billions, billions of people who have set out to do what you want to do are regarded as inferiors, as backwards and savage, as uncivilised and worthless. This is the lie of reaction, this is the lie of original thought.
If you think an idea is original, then I’m sorry but all you’ve discovered in the boundaries of your own ignorance. All you’ve discovered is that you have no idea which author you’re quoting. There are no original ideas, and that’s wonderful, because that means we are not alone. That means the universe is structured by laws that we can study and understand. That means that truth is real, and we can pursue it.
Radicals in the west read history, radicals in the east write history. Join the side of justice, join the side of truth, join the side of societies, and abandon yankee social democracy.
The age of apostles is upon us, and you have a duty to devote yourself to the science of Marxism. The days are slowly counting down until we reach the crossroads: Socialism or Barbarism. Will humanity rise from the ashes of the old, or die in the wake of greed, decadence, rapaciousness and individualism?
Which side will you be on?
