Yeah we're a nation of shit people overall. All the more reason collapse is best overall. I'm willing to suffer and die if it means Palestinians and immigrants can be spared
but if the right wing took power of america's arsenal i think more Palestinians and immigrants would die
Better make sure you support the lefties then if you don’t want a nazi government. Liberals have historically proven themselves to support nazis over leftists during a revolution, I hope you will do differently if you actually believe what you say.
Let's give the land back to the Native Americans then! Surely they can't do worse than our inherently corrupt, atrocious system, right?
Certainly if we are "first past the post" and our biggest hope for change and "most progressive" president is a bigoted genocidaire, we're better with them in charge, agreed?
certainly sir right you are
but, just one more thing
i don't think a group of people that the state has spent centuries stamping out are in a position to successfully hold together a country as wide-spread and diverse as the united states, so i feel like just handing it over with no other intervention is as good as a free for all, and i think that just leads to a right wing takeover
Yikes, so you oppose returning the land to Native groups for the sake of holding together a nation that is objectively more racist and genocidal than Nazi Germany. Yikes.
That's not what they're saying. They say that if you gave land back right now, you'd have massive violence against natives and likely other marginalized people by the fascists that have been building militias for years now. A revolution needs popular support, and I just don't see that at the moment.
Voting will also not change that. But neither will not voting, at least not for the better. Treat it like a chore, like you're taking out the trash. That won't clean your house, but if you don't, you're gonna live in filth before long.
Liberals think that voting is the end of politics, but that's where the actual work begins. Organize your workplace, your local community and with marginalized people. Build the support needed to tear this fucked up, cruel and callous system down. So when the collapse comes, fascism will not win. The people will.
The majority of people here are racist and will always be racist, so you're right that pandering to popular support is a dumbass idea
Are racist? Yeah probably. But I refuse to accept that they always will be. And there can't be a leftist revolution without popular support. The only reasonable way I see going forward is to build leftist support structures now, and organize, organize, organize. I think at least the young generation is coming around on capitalism, and we must make sure they get directed to the left, and not fascist demagogues
Good, and step one is to dissolve the state, right? So what if is your problem with my post? It's objectively impossible to espouse anarchism/leftism without working toward the collapse of fascist nations like the US.
In all seriousness, what do you think would happen if the state collapsed tomorrow?
We as the left are so disorganized, there would be nothing stopping fascists filling the power vacuum. I'm an anarchist myself, but for the revolution not to fall against the counterrevolution, we need to be ready to make sure that that power vacuum stays empty. That requires strong unions, self defense forces, mutual aid networks and much more. None of which we currently have. We absolutely work towards the collapse of the state. But on our terms, and with something better ready to replace it with. The revolution won't happen on it's own, it's a long and arduous process.
sorry sir i don't believe i said that
i believe i said i oppose returning the land to native groups with a completely hands-off approach because it would most likely lead to a right-wing uprising within the country, which would ultimately strip said native groups of their newly held rights anyway
You think Native groups are incapable of forestalling a right-wing takeover? Fucking yikes!
"OnLy WhItE pEoPlE uNdErStAnD tHiNgS"
Racist
after centuries of being oppressed by the ruling class? yes, sir. i do, sir.
i think anybody would be incapable of holding together a nation like the usa after that kind of treatment, sir
So that brings us back to my post. A nation that is objectively worse than Nazi Germany should collapse for the sake of the greater good.
Look i read a lot of your stuff and agree with a bunch of it and disagree with a bunch which is fine but NEVER downplay the terrors nazi Germany caused again. You don't know shit about anything if you think the US is more genocidal and racist than nazi Germany. The US is a shit country with a broken system that lets you choose between trash and a dumpster fire but holy shit was Nazi Germany bad. You seem to be from the US so maybe you don't get taught a lot about it. Yes, the US is complicit in genocide but there's levels to it. The Germans were worse, they'd tell you to pack all your important belongings if you were a Jew or anyone else on their list of undesirables. Then they'd throw you in a train after taking all your important belongings you so neatly sorted for them so they don't have to put big effort into searching your place for riches. You'd get treated as an animal in a container and brought to a camp, split up from your family. At this point your fate almost certainly was death. You'd get put to work. Near constant work with not enough food to sustain your body so you'd slowly decrease more and more day after day until you die. You might also get your still alive body experimented on in full pain by doctors. If the camp was already too full for new arrivals (as they didn't just go after their own population but they waged war all over and put more and more people in camps) or if they just felt like it they'd put you down like an animal, be it gas chambers or other methods. Like i get that the prison system in the US is ethnically targeted slavery and the US has and had their fingers in a lot of fucked up shit but don't ever use fucking nazi Germany for your hyperbole again.
We're set to collapse regardless, because our sitting president refuses to stop committing genocide and border fascism, so it doesn't really matter whether we like it or not, now does it? America is dying.
Personally, I think that's best. Death to America.
i feel like you're looping the conversation back to where it started, sir
naturally, i wouldn't ever accuse you of doing such a thing, because it would be a slight on your character
A slight on my character to express support for what I originally supported in my post? Are you a bot? lol
Also, I don't like being referred to as "sir"
sorry my columbo roleplay isn't very good i've only watched the youtube clips
you're going in circles without adding anything new to the discussion
Why would you be cosplaying Columbo? Because of my pfp? That's absurd. Surely Columbo would use logic instead of anti-indigenous capitalist propaganda.
If we are so fascist, then we are not set to collapse.
Ok then I guess no worries for you then. The genocidal regime you love so much will survive after all. Historically, no fascist regimes have ever fallen /s
...ah. here it is.
