I do think left-leaning people need to be a bit thicker of skin but not because I think they are weak or any of that bullshit. I just think along your lines: the revolution will be messy business and the world in its current form is a fuck, people need to steel themselves toward these truths. It's also the reason I think leftists should engage in personal fitness. But its also down to the abilities of each individual person, not everyone has the time or ability to get fit mentally and physically, but the perk of collective strength and fortitude is it means we will have the strength to carry those who cannot carry themselves, we owe it to each other and ourselves.
I'm open to being wrong, though, so if somebody wants to change my mind I'll always lend an ear to a comrade's criticism.
I think its also really important for more communists to get into producing food. The biggest loss of life under communism has been starvation. Most agricultural experts are kulaks or full on capitalists so there is a lot of learning to catch up on to feed a communist nation especially when sanctions come into play.

That's called autarky and it has yet to work.
