The society we live in is full of hypocritical people and liberals that refuse to acknowledge injustices such as poverty, gentrification, landlordism, or even imperialism. Marxism-Leninism is an ideology about liberating the masses, but what if the masses don’t even want to acknowledge the injustices against us because they are scared of any potential change? I am no longer a Marxist-Leninist because I do not want to work alongside the masses. If we’re being honest, talking to the normies about politics just shows how intensely the liberal psyche is scared of anything radical, and they deny the injustices committed against the working class. Communists are good and their ideology has its merits so we should listen to it, but it falls apart without a certain amount of support. It has its failures not in theory but in practice. People are not logical, and the groups and ideologies that have people doing things we would consider adventurist or morally wrong are actually more successful. Socialists are so meticulous and it even backfires on them in a society like America where people just want a channel for their rage and a group of people to hate and blame for their problems. We could so easily direct hatred towards the ruling class if we just made it easier to be a leftist.

I can already hear the typical socialist thinking that I have betrayed leftism by encouraging lone wolf theorists and activists, which fundamentally goes against the established principles. I don’t like that this is the best option either, but no amount of propagandizing we can do will be enough to outcompete the liberal propaganda machine that owns all the news, all of the media, and creates the worldview that the US government is legitimate. We cannot just propagandize for the entirety of our activism because so many people have no potential to be useful to the movement. Irrational human behavior and thought processes caused by liberalism is the nail in the coffin to any ideology based on facts or logic. Join a political space and try talking to the liberals about a revolution. It’s going to end with “Not having elections is evil“ and “That’s authoritarian”. Stop waiting for members because when people with potential see left-wing activism in person it will become real to them, and inspire more even if it is seemingly futile.

It is also easier to talk with people that are not as ideologically rigid and would care more about fighting the bourgeoisie than making sure everyone in their organization is ideologically matched to the group, which almost never happens and stops leftists from doing anything before they can even begin. Group socialists will even purge me for things as small as liking the unabomber, wanting to pillage the homes of the bourgeois, or encouraging abortions to make the US population collapse. They don’t even want me to call myself a socialist with these opinions. Even if my comrades think I am tripping or crazy, the benefit of being a lone wolf leftist is I don’t need them to agree. As a lone wolf theorist I will likely make socialism more palatable and more accessible to those who don’t have people they can form organizations with.

Another benefit of being a lone wolf leftist is that by being a “Lone Wolf” as described by radicalization experts, is that you do not need to seek any approval or ideological agreement with other leftists for any kind of activism. Lone Wolf Leftism is also beneficial in legal and political matters because the police cannot go and raid communist party headquarters and other lone wolf leftists cannot be persecuted if another person attacks landlords or class enemies. If you are propagandizing through social media, lone wolf ideologies are actually even more effective at reaching people than collectivist organizations which have vetting and established principles. I will of course address the elephant in the room that class enemies use this kind of strategy to propagandize, but as a leftist, you would be contributing to the economic benefit of the working class and the proletariat in general.

If you are interested in becoming a lone wolf leftist, I welcome you to begin posting theory online or consuming theory and Marxist ideas. As a lone wolf, your goals are not the same as typical Marxism. You should create propaganda that reaches the largest number of people and provokes the largest amount of engagement and anger towards the ruling class and the regime. Some will hate us but if they talk about lone wolf leftism, even to curse it, that brings attention and outside knowledge about the movement. However, you must intentionally not form groups and distance yourself from any other leftist organization because that makes you guys potentially responsible for each others’ actions and can give the government an easier time trying to accuse you of crimes or collaboration.

Any person who fights against imperialism and colonialism, poverty and exploitation, America and Israel is welcome in this movement.

    I agree, but I think the liberals are too over socialized to participate in leftism in groups which makes this the next logical thesis. A high number of lone wolfs is also preferable to a single organization in regards to making suppression difficult and keeping the movement of actors difficult to predict by authorities.

      it’s almost trivial for state actors to wipeout leftist movements done by an individual or a small groups; it becomes problematic for states to do the same to groups once they’ve become large enough and that’s why they place so much emphasis on targeting leftists movements before they attract more people.
