I don’t know where to find common ground. It feels like we are speaking two different languages and it is difficult to try to bridge that gap, if this is not on a good faith basis from the get-go, which it doesn’t appear to be.

It appears like you think people here, as some general mass that has no individuality, simply want destruction, which is the furthest thing from the truth. Do you suppose you are the only one here who lives in the west, who has self interests in not dying in horrific decline and rupture?

One of the common understandings of marxism-leninism about capitalist government and reform is not, as you make it sound, “you can never get any reforms through and I hope collapse comes quickly”. It is more like “the capitalist state will do everything in its power to cling to power and confrontation is inevitable.” So sure, work on harm reduction if you want, just don’t have illusions that it is going to save the system or something. Take the wins you can get, but also organize like you know it won’t be enough to do reforms within the capitalist system. Is that at odds with what you believe? Is it any closer to an understanding? You tell me.
