I'm at the edge of a mental breakdown and it feels like it's bad but idk, I don't want to go to a hospital only to be given the stink eye just because I feel like I'll kms
I often think of this passage from Lenin’s text on Tolstoy and the labor movement: "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle."
We rarely see the other parts of that paragraph. "Despair is typical of the classes which are perishing,” Lenin writes. "The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes."
Lenin was writing about the labor movement, and the objective historical process that saw it rise and replace the peasantry as the dominant force in Russia. The peasantry was gripped by despair because its class no longer had a future. The proletariat, by contrast, was growing in strength and number.
Today, Lenin’s insight also holds true of the streets of Iran, where people mobilize by the millions under bombardment. It is true of the communes in Venezuela, whose militants continue the task of building socialism and are prepared to take up arms to defend it. It is true of the people of Cuba, who remain defiant under a crushing blockade that has turned their cities dark.
Those who despair now — as a new world is being born — are really just mourning the death of liberalism. They are mourning the death of a world that never existed: a world of supposed lawfulness and “rules-based” governance. Anyone who has ever earnestly tried to bring a new world into being quickly learned that these were fictions created to secure impunity for the colonizer and oppressor.
That is why we find that people on the vanguard of the systemic transition underway — as with the labor movement in Lenin’s time — “have plenty to protest against but nothing to despair about.”
Todo está consumado. Ya ganó y ahora todas las instituciones gubernamentales están en manos de una probada organización criminal.
Ahora verán su odio, su venganza, su mezquindad, su crueldad, su autoritarismo, sus mentiras, su uso y aprovechamiento indebido del Estado.
Peru's indigenous Aymara region will not recognise the elections if Fujimori wins, because she has already lost the popular vote within the country. If she wins it'll be due to those from abroad, not in Peru.
Protests & strikes are coming to defend the country's majority.
Lo único que siento en este momento es rabia. No debemos de sucumbir a la tristeza y el miedo o la incertidumbre de lo que nos podrá pasar. En cambio, debemos trabajar en organizarnos y prepararnos para la lucha que tenemos que luchar, lo que debemos a los nuestros.
si están tan cómodos felicitando a fujimori y deseando un buen gobierno es porque piensan que nunca les va a llegar, que a quienes matarán serán a otros. su sorpresa será abrir los ojos y ver tombos apuntándolos.
Seriamente, estamos cagados pero no podemos rendirnos. Hay que luchar contra lo que se viene con toda nuestra fuerza y alma. ¡Sí podemos gente peruana!
