Left Elitism

There is a problem with elitism on the left. Elitism divides the working class and there is no need for elitism in the revolutionary movement, The working class needs action; sitting in a coffee house talking about theory and other stuff is not going to liberate the masses.

Too many leftists focus on the universities and unions, people need to know there is an alternative to the system and an alternative party. It would not hurt to go into the ghettos or the trailer parks to inform people about socialism and why we need it. I know some people are afraid to go to trailer parks because of the bigotry associated with the working class whites. However, If we do not go and educate them, then they will still live in the slavery of stupidity. They are slaves of propaganda and right wing scapegoating.

As revolutionaries it is our duty to educate the working class about racism and imperialism and how it does not solve their problems.

One of the many mistakes we make when talking to people who are uneducated about the issue at hand we tend to use academic language instead of proletarian language. I have made this mistake too many times and now my friends will not brother to listen to me, besides the fact, the biggest reason they do not listen is that they are extremely apolitical.

In addition, we focus too much on theory and argue about it too much. People do not care about theory; they care about action, so we should give it to them.

There is a nasty behavior of elitism towards rural working class people also, not all rednecks or southerners are reactionary. That needs to stop too if we are going to educated them and keep them away from the rotten diet of fox news.

So the point is stop being elitist. you are not revolutionary, if you are elitist.
