Really Jaromil is right on some levels. First our 'movement' has
stagnated to a large extent and failed to capture the imagination of the
youth today. It's also had a revival of sorts in terms of ideas, but the
old guard has failed to catch onto this and so the experience has failed
to filter through or take advantage of the new situation.
So now we must revise our symbols, beliefs, dogmas and strategies.
Mainly I want this crap about the left to go. I feel nothing of the
global left, and feel no connection to stalinists. I feel more
connection with social entrepreneurs than with 'communist comrades'.
Unless this movement evolves out its microcosm echo-chamber, it will be
left behind:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/comments/3hfu75/this_sub_is_too_biased_and_does_not_fully/
by new threads that are emerging and encompassing its values. It might
have already happened anyway.
Yet somehow socialism and the left has become cool in our minds. Just
like black bloc parades that demonstrate with 100 people and smash a
window. Wow, how radical. Most people don't see you as radical or
dangerous, they see you as soap dodgers that need to get a job and know
you are incapable of change. They are radical in their minds only.
So what's going to happen now to improve the world.

Now I'm personally approaching a juncture where several very important
questions are being posed to me, that's forcing a strong revision of my
ideas to confront problems. Real life is complex.

The main ideas I'm grappling with are about democracy and corruption.
And we must learn by studying sociology literature and history, not by
scientific analysis (dialectics).
