Exactly… how does a socialist, communist or anarchist think revolution will happen?
This is what I mean by the Bellamyite delusion. He essentially believed that the transition from capitalism to socialism would not only be peaceful, but natural. The people can just sit on their asses and wait until the capitalists are done consuming themselves. That is the ghost that haunted American progressive movements for the last hundred years. They don't believe in revolutions; their ideal form of government is a momentary retreat from capitalism (i.e. New Deal era) or Nordic welfare capitalism, both of which are utterly impossible to achieve in modern US. These people have good hearts, but it just seems impossible to wake them up from establishment slop.
My guess is not enough people heard about this place. I saw it through r/marxistculture but if someone's not subscribed to any other tankie adjacent subs I imagine they're just left in the dark. Alternatively because the other subs aren't banned presumably a lot of them just took refuge elsewhere on reddit (before those subs are eventually destroyed too)
