    I’ve been hearing people talk about this giant change for years, and never seen anything like an advance.

    Because we’re still in a period of decay.

    There’s a reason why AES projects are mostly started in underdeveloped regions: once capitalism is established as the dominant system, it is impossible to escape it through democratic means. Capital has captured the democratic process, and it won’t allow for its own destruction

    If revolution doesn’t happen, America will eventually fall to fascism or collapse under its own late-stage capitalism completely. Doesn’t matter if you find it impractical, that’s just what the analysis points to.

    You can suggest your own analysis if you disagree with ours.

      My analysis is that we should do things now instead of waiting.

      Look at the marriage laws from 1950s to today. Interracial couples and same sex couples were banned from getting married. Heck, women couldn’t have their own bank accounts in may places.

      Change is possible.

      You’re tellign people who are suffering now that the only thing they can do is await a possible revolution.

        Your analysis is just vibes, bud, it doesn’t have any eye or consideration for any systems or material relations

        If tomorrow we passed a law protecting trans and minority rights, the next election the reactionary forces will push back and make it harder - if not impossible - to run on protecting them again.

        Why do you think it’s so hard for Harris to run on Palestinian liberation, or immigration reform, or trans rights? Because she’d lose, because the American voter base is frothing at the mouth and becoming more reactionary every election cycle, and your ‘analysis’ doesn’t even bother to see or acknowledge that trend, let alone address it.

          Yeah , it’s almost as if you have to rally the troops and get out the vote in every single election.

          FDR’s New Deal held together for decades, until Ronald Reagan got in.
