Do you think that you can help bring about the revolution or do you just want a minor less risky role? What kind of role can you participate on and die with a smile in your death bed when you think about how you lived your life?
I’m a software engineer so naturally I think it’d be fucking awesome to work on something like Project Cybersyn.
I will be the best damn fry cook a revolutionary movement has ever seen.
I think with sufficient investigation and theory-studying, I could come up with a decent Marxist analysis of White Evangelical Christianity in the US. I think I’ve identified the principal contradiction in it. I think I’m seeing how it can barely be considered a “religion” and instead it exists to reinforce settler colonialism, white supremacy, and reaction. Just need to put it all together.
And I fully admit none of this really gets us closer to revolution. This analysis would be less valuable than more effective on-the-ground organizing. But this is a topic that I think about a lot and have an interest in, and applying Marxism to it help me work through my own issues with White Evangelical Christianity.
Evangelicals are the prime movers of fascism in the USA so I think we need that analysis of yours.
