Why shouldn't a comrade practice writing agitational stuff?
If most issues were solved 100 years ago, there wouldn't have been so much trouble 88 years ago or 70 years ago or 34 years ago. It's an evolving cause that should embrace the progression of science, especially when psychology and anthropology have come into their own as rigorous disciplines in the time since Marx and Lenin.
We Demand Tomorrow was a manifesto, and it was good. We'll always have a reason to concretize ideas and adapt them to the circumstances we're in.
In a world where countless people haven’t read foundational works of communist theory written by people who actually led revolutions, I think convincing even one person to read that is time better spent than spending god knows how long on the mental masturbation of coming up with one’s own manifesto, that, let’s be real, is never going to be read by anyone.
If you disagree, so be it lol.
Edit: nobody is saying “don’t write agitation”. By all means go at it. OP’s post comes across as trying to reinvent the wheel, not create agitprop around the movements and issues of our times.
Nobody is saying "I'm going to reinvent the wheel of leftism". Your post came across as saying we don't need to write more stuff because what's already out there is enough.
If what’s being added to what’s out there is “a mix of anarcho-communism, world federalism, and environmentalism”, I think we’re good with what’s already out there tbh.
