I wouldn't see myself as a Major optimist, i see myself as a Diplomatic Pessimist at best. There have been many failures of Economic systems both from the Left and the Right and i can in some ways understand why Anarcho-primitivists would just want to go backwards in time before all this even happened, however that is not progression. According to Marx humanity needs to progress not regress in accordance to Historical Materialism, so i am of the belief that the left needs to look outside the box of Materialism a bit and look to new ideas without making the old redundant, Anarchists really need to start looking at the old ideas and modernizing them and Marxist-Leninists need to get of their Ideological high horse, since all that will lead to is more pain and torment. Power dynamics in Politics are not straight forward and neither are Economic Systems, there doesn't just need to be educating the masses, but a full scale re-evaluation of the masses. Capitalism in its many forms like Social Democracy, Conservatism, Fascism, and Nazism have shown to be counter-intuitive and massively pointless at upholding and the past attempts of Marxism-Leninism style "Socialist" systems have shown to be although ideologically innocent, the reality of them is not. So my plan is simply to put what we know in a easy to understand format on here then question what we know as leftists to re-evaluate what we need to work on, then once we have consensus on new ideas we can then realize the faults in the old.
