we don’t “wait” for a revolution nor do we expect it to magically fix anything.

We do wait for material conditions to align (our own or our community's). Movements needs a cataclyst. Not every moment is ripe for sweeping change.

And we absolutely expect revolutions to improve life dramatically - often simply by removing the corrupt oligarchs mismanaging the system.

But these are pragmatic approaches to economic management, not magical resolutions to human world events.

but i guess it’s easier to be ignorant than to at least learn what leftism even is.

It's easier to believe in the End of the World for some people than the End of Capitalism.
