End of colonialism cause of crisis

I certainly don't know all the factors but I can be sure in the fact that the blockade of Russia, the US vs China trade wars (Which the US kindly dragged all his allies into) are certainly part of the issue, the fact that the dollar is on the road to collapsing is could be another factor. And times of crisis the proletariat gets angry and the system tries to diverge this anger towards facism (today somewhat embodied in the Ukraine war) in order to prevent a socialist revolution, which is something that in this moments is essential that is made the focus of the masses. Proletariat of the world, UNITE!

Its not only that, is neoliberal banners too hatespeech, chauvinism and a lot of misinformation,not to minimize the anti communism but its just the same capitalist cocktail of ideas that they pull out when things go bad, I think its important to realize that what's happened isn't something new to the system but the system working as intended, communism is a threat to them and they are scared

Do you think that lacking material conditions under captalism is what prevents many people from getting into relationships or finding partners and or friends in general?

Absolutely, but one factor that is overlooked on the matter of romantic relationships is the manufacturing of unreasonable beauty standards, especially of women, most men are looking for a "trophy" wife, and that limits much of the people who they look for to begin with, or reduces the motivation to start because they feel that "lowering their standards" is a failure so why even bother?

So I think that it is a cumulative pile of factors that reaches that point, by the side of women toxic masculinity, regular systemic misogyny, in particular domestic abuse, could probably play a factor on the issue too.

Other things are as I believe you mentioned, the tendency of capitalism to individualize peoples lives and for sure not having the means to go out and do things that are viewed as couples things like dinning out going to the movies, or going to the bar,or equivalent,with your friends as well, and the fact that being broke makes you put most of your energy into not being broke, and the rest of it into managing how to.survive on such few resources

Is any of these true about China?

That's a succinct and well rounded answer comrade, the benefits outweighed the losses a thousand fold, it was a traumatic event, as most breaks from the traditional capitalist grip of a country, but what was built in it's place was definitely better, is it perfect? of course not, but it's leagues better than capitalist "democracies", I'll tell you that much

Am I Elitist?

I'll try to be as concise as I can, no promises though.

So in the first hand your anger is actually to the engines of the system, the way your friends think is consequence of said system, to think that their way of thinking is cruel is to put on their hands a lot of the syatem's blame. Because thinking like us is hard causes some isolation, sadness frustration, so even people who kinda stumble with this way of thinking are highly disincentivised of engaging with it, and conforming to the social norm is so freaking comforting, that is no wonder that they prefer that.

So secondly I'd say that if you have friends that don't hate you for being a communist, that's already a lot, and you need friends and personal connections and not everything should be about furthering the revolution sometimes having fun about dumb shit is not just nice, but actually necessary, so I'd recommend to focus on the common ground you have with your friends, enjoy their company and if and when one of them expresses sincere curiosity and/or interest in what you believe you talk things over and show why you don't like this and like that, but be very aware that they will most likely then not take a lot of misinformation as fact about communism and capitalism, so sometimes making a single tiny point and showing, kindly, all the reasons you believe in it (contesting the misinformation and mentioning your sources, Dessalines is your friend here) might be better than covering a large range of subjects, of which most of them they'll have reasons to distrust it because of misinformation.

So about being concise, not that sucessful, but I hope I helped.

Experience with heartbreak?

I don't have much to come into mind about the heartache but I'd like to address the beginning of your post, my dear comrade do not ever feel ashamed of talking about yourself in a place like this and in a situation like yours, friendship and love are the strong bonds that hold the revolutionary spirit together. You did not disliked the fact that other comrades talked about their issues and their heartaches, why would yours be any different, know that we are one team every one for each other, and we stand together in both the personal as well as on the collective, that's what it means to UNITE!

I kinda mean capitalism or the systems it creates to shape ideas and society, my focus was on the fact that the issue is much bigger then the people around our comrade rather than making an accurate analysis of the actual responsibles are for the fenomenon

Hoxhaist Anthem🎵

My friend, I do share some of your aversion from revisionism, though I think that you are going way too hard on the approach, and this song is burning some bridges that sound to me like you are throwing out the baby with the bathwater, like by what you are saying prolewiki has a lot of revisionists, but I'm quite sure that there are good folks there too, and you might have been banned not because you disagree with them but by how you disagreed with them, you being right about something(and we need to be vigilant because we are often not right about everything we think we are), do not give you the right to be unpleasant with others, like calling them rats to their faces(I understand in other spaces venting the frustration). And furthermore I think that one of our many battlefields is of trying to convince revisionists of the contrary(at least those that think that way because they don't know any better) and even when they are revisionists, there is a lot of common ground that we can stand on and ally with them in many opportunities. And hear me out I'm not saying that we do not need to be weary about getting too comfortable with surrounding ourselves with revisionists, but they often do share a lot of our values, and that should not be ignored. So I honestly do understand the frustration, and it is a very unfortunate truth that the imperialist tall tales survive for so long, and we will change that, if prolewiki is not good enough we will build our own corner, in fact comrade Dessalines essays is quite a good start, and we will promote our side, and show that the facts support our understanding. We will triumph because we are right.
