Theory is wonderful and my main activity right now, but I do love me some nice short inspiring quotes. If you wish, take a minute and share!

I love you comrades

    At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. Perhaps it is one of the great dramas of the leader that he or she must combine a passionate spirit with a cold intelligence and make painful decisions without flinching.

      Comrade SpaceCowboy, I gotta say, your recent pivot into talking about the motivation of love in comradery has been a true joy. That Kollontai you linked was very lovely and reflected quite strongly a lot of my own feelings about why I keep beating my head against the wall pushing for change.

      Thanks for being such a sweetheart

        Thanks Seanchai, I’m glad that I have been able to bring ideas which you like to this site. I’ve been opening up a part of myself I had closed off for a longtime and it is making me a better person… and y’all are coming with me on this journey - at least in part!

        I think that love and recognizing the humanity of others is what makes one a true socialist rather than a simple “contradiction observer” which I think I was for a while.
