perhaps it was my fault for not reading much theory, but i really really like the insight harper shares in this video, explicitly that we are improving ourselves not because we want to be better workers for capitalist exploitation,
but that we are be the best we can so we can be people in progressive movement that people look up to.
people can look at and say “i can admire this person”.
the mindset of the becoming more educated/competent/fit to better advance proletarian causes reminds me of that scene from the phasmid to harry from the game disco elysium.

tbh the military has to teach their soldiers to brush their teeth twice a day because they will actually have people not brush if they don’t. just recently they had a circumstance where the us military ship found tshirts and rope flushed down their toilet systems.
ultimately we are still try to pull members into our causes from these types of people too? we should be teach people the bare brick basics and installing some framework of building blocks of what a ideal communist/socialist looks like, especially the youth
