      And where’s your direct action, cac? Are you organized? Have you ever cut a check for a bail fund? How bout putting money on some political prisoner’s commissary? Oh wait, you’re a techbro with posts in a Linux community, TIL, and greentext. As we all know, redditors are punkasses who ain’t on nothin. You’re not with the shits either; and unlike anyone in this comm, you never will be.

      No. That’s not what we’re doing. It’s fuck the both of them, with equal energy; do not waste time with this horsefuckery.

          This is my ‘lightly’. Reason I’m not absolutely planting my verbal foot in your ass about this is because I get it. I absolutely do get the urge to want to see this country fall apart at the seams, burning in the streets; I want to see riots that would put Watts and Ferguson to shame.

          But right now, if we were to indulge the urge to right the scale that bends history’s arc that way, by indulging in reckless accelerationism, we’d lose substantial amounts of the people we’re supposed to be doing this for at the hands of aggrieved fascists-- and know for a fact, if my community gets to a point where it is so depleted as to be unable to fight, my hands aren’t going to the assistance of settler counter-efforts; they’re leaving the country, on foot with a rucksack if need be.

          By absolutely no means am I saying “support the virulently racist shambling cadaver in the blue tie”. What I’m saying, is to let the duopolous uniparty fight amongst themselves. That way for those of us still stuck here and in existential threat from said fascists, should the worst-case scenario still come to pass, it’s not directly on your head.

              A powerful country completely collapsing, but controlled by fascists with access to nukes is not a good outcome for the world.

              I’d rather the United States decline in power to allow the workers from everywhere else have more opportunities to seize the means of production.

              If people in the United States try to push the people in the socialist direction and not the fascist direction, they could seize power democratically. The fascists will act out like the monsters they are and it will be legally easy to suppress these ghouls.

                Decline of US will have the fascists in power inevitably, do you really think people of US are so revolutionary that they can resist fascism. I don’t think so. You people are ingrained with decades of propaganda. After this Ukraine situation and not a single strong anti war movement I don’t believe that western countries can become socialist anywhere near future.

                  If one lives in the United States, it is not wrong to try. As conditions worsen the capitalist state will blame anyone but the capitalists for its decline. That decline is obvious. It is easy to see how capitalists cause the problems more than trans people or any other minority that the fascists will blame.

                  Harsher times lead to more restless people. The question is how can that energy be channeled into? Socialism or barbarism?

                  It is not wrong to make the superstructure of the US society to understand how capitalism actually works. It is up to China to do its part and provide better deals for all developing nations not do all its deals with the IMF and World Bank. The destruction and undermining of imperialist trade relations will lead to a decline in the imperial core to become like all other nations. It is the duty of communists regardless of nation to lead where they are to build socialism according to their environment’s material conditions.

                  Would I deny that the Socialists in the west are weak as hell? No. There are protests but they are sparsely attended and of course the media doesn’t report on them. The media doesn’t cover the masive waves of strikes that much either, but that is an indicator that the potential exists.

                  The developing nations just need to keep more of the wealth they generate, then the rest of the pieces will fall into place.

                  The way I see it is, that I will die in a nuclear war or I will not. As long as I am able I’ll push American people towards socialism in what means I am able for the sake of this planet. If I die, my obligations to this world are ended. Simply accepting defeat when it is not guaranteed doesn’t sit well with me. Accepting nuclear war and climate change to destroy our species is not a condition that I will accept without trying to stop them.

              Hey, valid. Maybe you don’t have to have those concerns; but there’s still subjects of empire in this hellscape I have to worry about; still colonized folks who don’t deserve the klansmen that accelerationism will bring.

      I don’t mean to be rude, I love his tweets, but his historic tax cuts, attempted assassination of Maduro and putting in Rex Tillerson for head of Energy were too fucked up to be a funny administration.

        attempted assassination of Maduro

        My favourite thing about Trump was his incompetence to conduct imperialism outside US’ borders.
