I’m noticing the same thing. I’m used to getting huge pushback when I’m fully honest with the people around me about what I think and What Is To Be Done. Since the last year, though, people just nod along mostly (maybe it’s just that my kind of rhetoric has lost its novelty as more people become aware of the ‘tankie’ phenomenon). Honestly, it makes me a bit concerned because I feel like people are at the point where they understand the power that capital has, its intentions, and what’s necessary to overcome it; those things actually are fairly clear just from looking around. But they are missing something that those of us who read a bunch of theory got: they don’t know that capitalism is guaranteed to create the conditions for its own destruction, so in their minds the seemingly insurmountable odds of the working class seizing power are not just seemingly insurmountable, but really impossible.
