I’m not smart enough to write a discourse on adventurism. But this has been a great day. Even my lib friends are having a good day. I hope we continue to see such heroic acts.
The dude: not great. The act: great.

I’m not gonna try and second guess anyone who, clearly, has far more courage than I do but seeing what happened at the time of Willem Van Spronsen’s martyrdom and what changed afterwards (i.e. nothing) was a major turning point for me in my own political development.
I say this will all respect but unfortunately Van Spronsen’s memory faded, although I keep remembrance of his heroism alive in my heart, while the machine churned on basically unperturbed - as it does to this very day. It would be uncharitable to say that he died for nothing - he died in an act of resistance and he died for his principles. But his choice to take himself out in a single act ultimately serves the interests of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, just as did the death of Aaron Bushnell and Matt Nelson.
You can call this position selfish, and in some regards that would be true, but we need these people who are willing to live and even die for their principles to fight in resistance for as long as possible rather than taking themselves off the board voluntarily in one solitary, final sign-off.
I was not aware of Willem Van Spronsen before this post. But, as they say, actions speak louder than words. May this person rest in peace.
but he’s even got an emoji here! yeah, he is a bit of a minor figure.

Yeah, that’s to be expected honestly. For me it was a sort of Lenin’s brother moment.
you can say whatever you want about Adventurism’s many successes or many shortcomings, however, it was very funny
The vanguard should go ahead, but not to far as to leave the movement behind. Is this the discourse change we need ? Maybee…
Diversity of tactics 😇
