The reality is that US government has always been a private club for the billionaire class, they just used to have the decency to hide it behind closed doors. Musk’s real crime is skipping the velvet rope and letting us all see the sausage being made. Bravo, Elon, for finally making oligarchy transparent.
On a more serious note. All the “chaos” being caused by Musk, Trump, and all of the rest means that all leftist orgs, parties, and even just individuals should be going in hard to win hearts and minds now. If the empire is going to hand us such perfect chances, then we should be taking any and all of them. So many of the libs are going around speaking of “organizing” but will just keep allowing the next cycle and further embolden the far-right/fascists.
Not calling for adventurism shit. But the contradictions of what the centrists/libs are coming back on them faster and harder than any time in my life. Their leaders have been shown to care more about finding reasons to never use power than to do anything they speak of to the masses come every election cycle. The masses that are sympathetic to stuff leftists talk about, but fear sudden change are now having to deal with it anyway.
I may just be dumb and overly hopeful in what some of the shit happening can be turned into. Would rather get razzed on here for it, and at least know I can learn from it.
Exactly, millions of people are falling out of the liberal mainstream right now. They’re becoming open to new ideas as a result, and unless communists can present them with a narrative that resonates with them, then they will inevitably move right.
