It’s “westerners as a group do not have the material basis to desire revolution because they live relatively comfortable lives so the people who disagree are isolated from society.”
The only people for whom the violence and chaos of revolutionary war would be worth it are largely traumatized or marginalized individuals. It’s why the vast majority of revolutions only happen in countries where the status quo was borderline hell. The idea that communists have better thoughts so they choose communism is pure liberal/idealistic ideology comrade.
Agree but theres also a number of comrades who were so spoiled that they fell into socialism as a way of rebellion and it likely made too much sense to leave.
… Is this “Communists are just angry losers” but from the left?

I mean, I AM an angry loser, but not because I’m a pinko.
