A pattern I've noticed is that liberals typically don't have any direct interactions with people who are struggling and assume that their experience is representative of the general population. Rejecting material analysis as an explanation for their ideology becoming unappealing they latch onto the idea that the problem is with foreign actors interfering. These people think that as long as as they can control the narrative then everybody will just magically forget that their lives suck.

In the 21st century when much of the left have abandoned Lenin for being antiquated and outmoded, we must look to Gramsci in order to help define what Leninism means today and its relevance to revolutionary struggle in our age. Ultimately, there is an irreconcilable incompatibility between the idea of free information and the existence of corporations that profit from its commodification. The battle to make information free is the battle for an entirely different world. https://logicmag.io/failure/freedom-isnt-free/  @yogthos two things to the puzzle can give us a completely different world. One is the currency and another is the discovery of its prices.

@yogthos This is probably why indoor farming should be the future, in addition to indigenous and forest permaculture.
