      The leaders of Western society have been corrupt assholes since day one, and the whole miserable project keeps trundling along anyway.

      Only problem is that, in doing so, violence against marginalized people will go through the roof. If you think that America’s going to go down easy, it ain’t. It will go down kicking and screaming, bringing back slavery and genocide (………….). It will go back to bombing its own citizens again and corporations will have the military to protect them.

      What we need is someone to stand up to us. And win.

      Though that will also cause untold death, destruction and suffering.

      …… Seems to me like the violence and suffering is inevitable.

      Ok, I agree with you. lmao

        Welcome to the tankie club. We really don’t want violence and disaster, we just recognize that it’s the only way capital is going to give the power back… through violent organized force or by violent disorganized collapse. We prefer the organized option so we actually build something better back!

          So this is the tankie club, eh? I thought I was already in it, given how many times I’ve been called a tankie for recognizing that Kamala Harris is just as bad as Trump on a few issues. lmao

          Your comment makes me think of the workers who died at the hands of corporate thugs. We wouldn’t have the things we do now if they didn’t give their life and blood for it.

          For a better tomorrow! ✊🏼

      Or the new york version, how far to the right can somebody be and still win because they called themselves a dem in a statewide race.
