      “Now he is a communist”

      What part of that sounds like he’s doing nothing? Do you have any clue what communists do? Like, you can go ahead and open What is to be Done and at no point does Lenin say “yes and at this point you wait and do nothing,” feel free to investigate the matter and call me out if I’m wrong.

      who suggested doing nothing?

      You are so intellectually impoverished you cannot imagine anything outside the strict binary of “do nothing” and “press button that does nothing”

      Hey at least pressing the button is doing something cause I’m moving my arm right?

      If you want a little hint at what should be done, maybe read some Lenin. Turns out it actually is possible for the masses to “do something” very funny.

        All I’ve ever heard from communists are theory and a mythical “revolution” that’ll happen any day now. At least the liberals have done something

          Do you think we think revolutions just… happen? That we aren’t working incredibly hard trying to find allies, build the labor movement, build the indigenous movement, the queer movement, the anti-racist movement? That we’re not trying to bring those struggles together under the same revolutionary banner? I understand you might not see much of this as being related to leftists because socialists and communists often put aside their specific political labels when it’s time to organize, but I guarantee that if you go and do something real (not voting) you’ll immediately start coming across the communists. That’s what a communist does, in practice.
