I’m kind of tired of people talking about “revolution, not [material improvement short of revolution]!” unless they’re actually out there successfully building institutions/organizations which might plausibly be able to mobilize the working class for revolution
In my experience, 99% of the time the people who say stuff like this mean “refuse to participate in the existing struggles of the working class, at the level of workers’ current political consciousness” with no serious effort to do anything else besides publish zines
When we say “meet the masses where they’re at” that means aiding our fellow workers in struggles—even liberal struggles—against material inequalities so that we can better recognize ourselves as a unified class.
Helping workers remove the barriers of bigotry, while sharing the message of class unity, will go a lot further than telling people they’re a bunch of incremental liberal morons who should accept material divisions until The Rapture—sorry, I mean, until The Revolution—comes
