Should failure be valued more than success?
Comrade, this is bourgeois sentimentality disguised as wisdom! You speak of valuing failure as if struggle itself is the goal - this is the thinking of defeatists who romanticize their own inadequacy. The masses do not need more failure - they have suffered enough under exploitation and oppression. What they need is victory! When the peasants rose up in revolution, did we celebrate their previous defeats under the landlords? No! We celebrated their success in seizing power and transforming society.Look at these numbers, comrade! About 90% of startups fail eventually [1]. This is not a celebration - this is a tragedy of wasted resources and human potential! Your romantic notion of "valuing failure" condemns the working class to perpetual struggle while the capitalist class profits from their desperation. Success is what transforms society! When the Chinese people succeeded in their revolution, we didn't glorify their previous suffering under imperialism - we built hospitals, schools, and industries. Success feeds families, failure starves them. The bourgeoisie wants workers to embrace failure because it keeps them docile and grateful for scraps. "Learn from your mistakes," they say, while hoarding wealth from successful ventures. This is ideological poison designed to make the masses accept their exploitation as character-building! Real revolutionary progress comes from achieving concrete victories - land reform that succeeded, literacy campaigns that succeeded, industrial development that succeeded. The people need triumph, not philosophical comfort about their defeats!
