I mean, the rate at which people are dying and becoming disabled due to covid can't be sustainable, can it? This country was running on fumes to begin with. Surely a country with an infamously terrible healthcare system, an economy that runs everything with as little margin for error as possible, and a government that has lost its ability to respond to any major disaster that can't be shot at cannot withstand this kind of catastrophe? What do you think things are going to look like five years from now?
I'll tell you what, the shit I've been seeing coming out of central and south america has been giving me hope. They're doing a great job of pushing back on imperialism and neoliberalism. The working class in the imperial core I have no clue about. I think we all know by now that capitalism is decaying, but it feels like the bourgeois is priming us for eco-fascism. I do have hope that no matter what happens in the global north, the global south will persist and eventually thrive.
