How Addiction To Sentiments Sabotages Organization

Some people who are Marxist-Leninists may be overly-attached to the ideology. When the ego creates an attachment to an ideology and then attempts to implement it, The person tends to become overzealous. Rather than a normal person talking to another about social class and struggle between classes, you are now feeding an internal desire to eat, sleep, and breathe Marxism-Leninism rather than engaging with the masses. A political ideology usually has sentiments attached and feelings of revolution, anger, and radicalism. While it is always good that these things are motivating us, they can become addictions we seek out rather than emotions we seek to implement into others.

Besides this, even news can become addictive as we are seeking out emotions through news instead of living in calmness and allowing things to happen naturally in our own lives. This can be comorbid with anxiety, stress, or other kinds of negative mental health symptoms.

Take a while to be free from news and notice how you can still uphold Marxism-Leninism and separate your personal emotions from what is happening in the world. When your mind is clear and you are not addicted to the feeling of revolutionary sentiment, you will find that you are able to engage with the masses in a way that is more practical, is received better, and ultimately is more effective than when you were chasing feelings of revolution and radicalism.
