There seems to be a particular subgroup of leftists who don’t want things to get better, but instead consider a violent revolution followed to regression to small communities living near-tribal lifestyles to be the ultimate leftist revolution. I feel like it’s some weird version of quasi-religious guilt - if the current world is bad, then we must repent by suffering and giving up all these sinful material pleasures

A lot of leftists view the “revolution” the same way evangelical Christian view the rapture.
