Never said anything about them being lesser, that’s you making that assumption or trying to put words in my mouth. Humans are humans and they’re all complex, but there is people who have a higher ability to pattern recognition, analysis, and critical thought, and those with less. It doesn’t mean they’re lesser, it just means they need a different way of approach. The issue with the Left as a majority is not understanding this and changing approach when need be, or making information consumable for people with different understandings. Too much intellectual heavy jargon, text heavy distribution, etc. The art of micro-dosing ideology and information to people is only recently (2020) starting to become a thing.

1: You guys care far too much about the semantics. Human society doesn’t advance off constantly fighting for exact estimates, it operates of 70-80% of knowledge and execution. When a study is covering something as difficult to cover as the inner workings of the mind, it’s not always going to have exact estimates of things, it’s going to have the closest ratio it can get. I’ve studied psychology, it’s a difficult science. Even if it was half, that is still a serious number to consider as it means half the people you’ll ever deal with will not have the means to understand something as others do.

2: Everyone operates off their upbringing. This is psychology & sociology 101. One’s actions are usually a byproduct of something that happened within their environment. Inner monologue just means a higher ability to internally analyze past decisions or beliefs. That’s why it’s far more common with neurodivergent people than it is with neurotypicals. A lack of a inner monologue means a lack of an inner tribunal, and for those without one, it means you have to convince them to your side either off appealing to emotional thought, material conditions, or other methods. When we talk about inner monologue, it means in a neuroscience lens, as a higher ability to analyze past other means of thought.

That’s very apparent since this same message was shared on Reddit, my Substack & my own Telegram channel and didn’t get remotely the push back it is getting here. It’s obvious that with lemmygrad becoming a new hub for the Left to speak more openly, there is folks coming into it that aim to water down or derail any form of thought or organizing that matters. It is what it is, ultimately this post was to shout facts to a void for at least a few to sympathize and begin focusing on fixing the many issues within the Left through our own individual contributions to mass organizing. It is to shout what I’ve seen and been fighting against or for, for well over a decade. It’s also why most of my own work in organizing is devoted to the clear lacking areas the Left has, such as our lack of militancy which is being addressed by our organization Red Rifle Collective, and our lack of a propaganda wing, which is being dealt with by the building of a Socialist think tank.

The problem the Left has is it’s propaganda is far too decentralized. Most of our propaganda comes from various organizations, all with different positions, and most not aimed at reaching regular people but promoting beliefs and concepts that will only ever be shared by various left-wing echo-chambers. Outside of that, a large chunk of “propaganda” is made by various influencers who are separate from other influencers, promoting content that sometimes does break past the echo-chambers, but not enough to be as impactful as it needs to be. One of the things I am working on is bridging that gap with a think tank specifically devoted to centralizing influencers together, further increasing strategy and collaboration, and making propaganda not just stuff that only leftists will understand but micro-dosing ideology for people outside our circles.

I’m not treating a forum as a vanguard party, this is simply a means for me to speak to the wide void that is the internet space, specifically the Left who needs to get things together.

Consciousness is shaped by material conditions, but if you don’t actively try to educate and lead the masses out of reactionary influences they’re going to go towards reaction. This is the reason why the vanguard (the advanced segment of the proletariat) and propaganda simultaneously need to be a central focus, because if you don’t lead from among the masses or influence from among the masses then you aren’t going to go anywhere. The idea that the proletariat will just inevitably come to our side without the tireless efforts of the socialists & communists and their propaganda is not just historically incorrect, it’s Utopian idealism. The masses have agency, but all of psychology and sociology proves they’re still entirely subject to their environment, as beliefs are a byproduct of ones environment or influences within. Their potential can only be channeled via the efforts of the group who helps them channel it.

I’m not denying the importance of the mass line, I often refer back to it, but what is greatly missing from the quotes you shared is the deeper analysis of Leninist thought which urges on the necessity of the advanced segment of the proletariat. The one quote specific: “However active the leading group may be, its activity will amount to fruitless effort by a handful of people unless combined with the activity of the masses.” Coupled with Leninist and Juche understanding stresses the importance of the “vanguard” (not as an organization but as the studied and organized sect of the communists) must be intertwined within the working class communities in order to understand their situations, level of understanding, and further advance them along with fight alongside them. It’s good to have a lot of book knowledge, but book knowledge without active participation in working class communities or organizing from those communities is useless. That’s the importance of that quote specifically and the importance with the quote from Kim Il sung “Intellectualize the proletariat, proletarianize the intellectuals” which is something even Marx eluded to.

“If we tried to go on the offensive when the masses are not yet awakened, that would be adventurism. If we insisted on leading the masses to do anything against their will, we would certainly fail.” I am aware of this and that’s not at all my post was eluding to. That said, it also means it is suicidal to not centralize our groups into a coalition and begin building a propaganda arm along with an armed wing for the Left that influences and is tied to the workers relations.

I did in my reply to them.

There is scientific studied to what I said which I replied with to the original commentator.

Literally backed by psychology and science. There has been studies on this topic. Many operate off what they was raised on or told to believe. “About 30–50% of people regularly engage in internal monologue. Others rely on visual, emotional, or kinesthetic modes of thought”

This wasn’t in regards to one specific organization, the idea that one organization must be the primary and the others should cease or merge into it is impossible in the American or Western relation. Its that of the Left the majority do not organize and where they do its in separated small groups. If we are to exist in small organizations then the most important next step is building a mass coalition with all the others and organizing as one organism like the Gaza groups do.

Liberalism to me was always a carbon copy when I seen it to conservatism. At a young age I immediately stepped over it towards anarchism, then later Marxism-Leninism. It’s hard to be mindful of liberal propaganda if you don’t know what to look out for. Becoming an anarchist didn’t protect me from it, but becoming an ML did. I unlearned subtle liberal propaganda and once I understood the difference between a liberal view point and a communist one, I began remaining vigilant of all forms of liberalism that I seen around me and either ignored it or called it out.

The first step to avoiding liberalism is knowing it, then remaining vigilant of it infecting your worldview & calling it out when able or worthwhile.
