āļøthis is false, communities are not built on love and in fact the capacity to contain people who hate each other is arguably what differentiates a community from like a friendship group. Also this is the mentality of a future cult recruit.
"The binding substance of a community is love and empathy" - guy who is about to build a social clique that will withdraw support from people based on "bad vibes" about them, and assumes that their flawless moral instinct means that that won't occur suspiciously along the lines of entrenched cultural demographic biases (it will)
There are actually many examples of revolutionaries who configure love as an important part of their praxis, i.e.:
"At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. . . Our vanguard revolutionaries must idealize this love of the people, of the most sacred causes, and make it one and indivisible. They cannot descend, with small doses of daily affection, to the level where ordinary people put their love into practice." -- Che Guevara
"The proletarian ideology, therefore, attempts to educate and encourage every member of the working class to be capable of responding to the distress and needs of other members of the class, of a sensitive understanding of others and a penetrating consciousness of the individualās relationship to the collective. All these āwarm emotionsā ā sensitivity, compassion, sympathy and responsiveness ā derive from one source: they are aspects of love, not in the narrow, sexual sense but in the broad meaning of the word. Love is an emotion that unites and is consequently of an organizing character." -- Alexandra Kollontoi
"Our congress should call upon the whole Party to be vigilant and to see that no comrade at any post is divorced from the masses. It should teach every comrade to love the people and listen attentively to the voice of the masses; to identify himself with the masses wherever he goes and, instead of standing above them, to immerse himself among them; and, according to their present level, to awaken them or raise their political consciousness and help them gradually to organize themselves voluntarily and to set going all essential struggles permitted by the internal and external circumstances of the given time and place." -- Mao Tse Tung
However, I believe the difference here between these ideas and those expressed in the screenshotted tags, is that the "love of the people" is not conditional on the creation of a "community based on love". Rather, this "love of the people" presupposes that we are all already surrounded by the oppressed people of the world who are struggling under the conditions of capitalism and imperialism, who we must love by default, and through struggling and organizing beside them we deepen our love and understanding. This is the "broader" definition of love, which is distinguished from a "narrow" or "ordinary" type of love in that it is not dependent on "vibes" but rather involves a solidarity that can exist regardless of personal feeling.

maybe growing up is just becoming who you were at 14 again but learning how to love her this time
when albert camus said āthe sea; i didnt lose myself in it. i found myself in itā and when sylvia plath said āif i lived by the sea i would never be really sadā and when hozier said ālove, when the sea rises to meet usā and when an anonymous writer said āand yet my heart wanders away, my soul roams with the seaā and when homer said āIād rather die at seaā
and when marguerite duras said āthere is one thing i am good at, and thatās looking at the seaā and when agnĆØs varda said āitās important to always be by the sea. the sea is the element of loveā
and when hermann broch said āthose who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part,ā and when keri hulme said āI know about me. I am the moons sister, a tidal child stranded on land. the sea always in my ear, a surf of eternal discontent in my blood,ā and iain pears said ābeing by the sea is like a permanent baptism; the light and air hypnotizes, and your soul is washed by vastness.ā
and when julia de burgos saidĀ āthe sea, the true sea, almost mine nowā and when saadi youssef saidĀ ābut to the sea, to this sea, i returnā and derek walcott saidĀ āyou want to know my history? ask the sea.ā

luthen and cassian burning their life to make a sunrise their children got to see. iām fine.
"rebellions are built on hope" coming from a random ghorman bellhop, who cassian met twice is really the most andor/rogue one thing ever. because he is SO random. they all are. every rebel. every member of rogue one. they are just random, ordinary people, who were willing and brave enough to give up everything for even a chance at freedom. and that is so important
by Edmund Blair Leighton (1852-1922)
Thereās a scientific journal called āGet me off Your Fucking Mailing Listā.
In 2005, computer scientists David MaziĆØres and Eddie Kohler created this highly profane ten-page paper as a joke, to send in replying to unwanted conference invitations. It literally just contains that seven-word phrase over and over, along with a nice flow chart and scatter-plot graph.
An Australian computer scientist named Peter Vamplew sent it to the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology in response to spam from the journal. Apparently, he thought the editors might simply open and read it.
Instead, they automatically accepted the paper ā with an anonymous reviewer rating it as āexcellentā ā and requested a fee of $150. While this incident is pretty hilarious, itās a sign of a bigger problem in science publishing. This journal is one of many online-only, for-profit operations that take advantage of inexperienced researchers under pressure to publish their work in any outlet that seems superficially legitimate.
