In the West communist parties are tiny compared to the rest of the population and have been antagonized for almost a century.
I literally don’t know one American irl that knows what communism and socialism actually are and all of them just think that both of those are bad
Kind of like this

I am not so sure that westerners will listen to communist even when they are doing a Revolution. I think that probably a París Commune 2.0 will happen.
Parties can be small and then become quite big and a majority. The Bolsheviks were a minority, don’t forget it. It works also the other way around, look how the SED disappeared.
Yes, I think about this often. Many parties, especially in the global north. Decades of propaganda, infighting, and distance from the masses have led to a lot of irrelevance.
But that’s also because of the shrinking of proletarian in the First World. Most productive jobs have been outsourced to the Third World. Many workers in the Global North want to become bourgeoise, they have no material interest in revolution.
It’s worth pointing out that the population clamoring to become bourgeoise comes from a place of constant capitalist propaganda from birth. I used to want that as well, until the right people at the right time of my life pointed me at the right content creators which led me to theory. Now, instead of wanting to become bourgeoise, I want to make bourgeoise proletariat again.
This antagonism will disappear if the communists come into power and manage to improve the lives of the people
It’s not that simple
I think that there will be a democratic revolution before a socialist revolution.
Similar to New Democracy concept of Mao Zedong.
