Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Introduction

I am not sure what audience this shall reach. Simply put, the Webnovel is not a place where you spread revolutionary propaganda. It is a place to share works of pure fiction. As such, I must understand that whatever I write may not, in the end, bluntly speaking, reach anyone. This is, fortunately, somewhat to my benefit. This allows me greater freedom of expression, one that in most non-left spaces would be summarily looked down upon. It is pleasing, then, that I can create this work uninterrupted.

The left in the United States is, especially since the meteoric rise of Bernie Sanders, resurgent. This is a blessing. For so long, the left has been reduced to its original form, that of it being nothing more than a status quo-disturbing, non-stop activist, decentralized group. For so long, we have been capitalism's shadow, that criticism that hangs over it, an afterthought that cannot seem to dissipate from consciousness. This is gradually becoming less so, and changes are, due to the increasing threat of climate change, going to happen whether the ruling class and the bourgeois class they serve desire them or not.

With this respect in mind, the left has a chance it has never had before: to initiate revolution and build socialism. Any one of you, even if you are ignorant of this, understand the implication of this, considering what sides were taken during the Cold War and, for those who know and for those whose curiosity shall be sparked, the fanatic anti-communist activities taken on by the US.

Thus, the nature of our revolution is also symbolic. The US has long been regarded as the heart of capitalism. To topple the regime here would be a an act of historical significance on par with the collapse of the Roman Empire. The critical nature, however, is of greater importance. For far too long, the worker and their fellow downtrodden classes have been the subject of the paranoic whims and the decadent desires of the people they are under. The masses live in poverty and precarian stability while they continue to find even more ways to alienate themselves from their fellow human beings, further enriching themselves in the process.

We must begin our Revolution. If not to topple the bourgeoisie, then to at least secure a future for our grandchildren not as climate refugees.

Long Live the People! Long Live Socialism!
