Radical Ron's censored reply to WSWS comment by person in despair over hope for socialism: SOCIALIST parties should still ADVOCATE for the exploited and oppressed

 [Is there still a possibility that humanity will survive this mess much longer? The prospects are really depressing (Covid with its never ending death toll, climatic disaster, imminent war threat of nuclear armed powers) and as I get the idea, that a socialist revolution could eliminate capitalism and install a new system that treats humans and nature as they should be treated, how can these war-mongering rulers be stopped ... before it´s literally too late? Sometimes, my hope is in shambles and fear is the only thing I feel...]

      NOTE : I wanted to reply to this comment 

            "  Sometimes, my hope is in shambles and fear is the only thing I feel.."     The FEAR you feel comes close to H.P. Lovecraft's " cosmic horror ".  In the 19th century UTOPIAN thinkers imagined that godless LOGIC & RATIONALISM could  conquer the INDIFFERENT  universe for the  species homo sapiens.  In the 20th century various Marxist " socialist " parties had a fatuous belief that HISTORY was on the side of the oppressed.  Since the 1917 Russian Revolution- more than a century now- they have ALL degenerated into Orwellian nightmare  personality cults  ( which will never realize DEMOCRATIC socialism ). The Socialist Equality Party reminds me of the infamous Church of Scientology with its legion of "  Clears ".

                 An honest  " socialist " party today would be wise to free itself of grandiose " VANGUARD PARTY " delusions.  Guided by what can still pass for a scientific analysis of decaying capitalism  ( and in this universe it is still very true that EVERYTHING comes into existence and passes away ) these " socialist " parties should ADVOCATE for the exploited and oppressed . And not pretend that a world of seven billion mostly ignorant wretches- now increasingly ILLITERATE in a High Tech Dark Age !- is on the brink of SOCIALIST utopia. 

               But we must never stop telling the truth about the EVIL of capitalism, never stop EXPLAINING capitalism as an economic system based on the exploitation and oppression of the working class of the whole world. Karl Marx got that right in his classic revolutionary book DAS KAPITAL .

            We should never stop trying to organize significant PUBLIC OPINION opposition  against the evil plutocracy and what socialist writer Jack London described as its " Iron Heel ".
