If you are fortunate, the next four years will be stable. You must educate, organize programs to better material conditions, and bring the proletariat into the left.
Do not betray yourself with “doomer” thoughts, these are a form of liberalism and must be routed out. Despair only perpetuates itself and it is hollow.
You have a feckless neoliberal now in office. Biden will fixate on enriching his donors and once again take his eyes away from the working class. He will expose bourgeoisie electoralism as a fraud incapable of delivering true improvements to the material conditions of the working class.
Do not waste these next years. The left in America has not had this opportunity in almost a hundred years. Seize this moment!
You cannot wait for some ahistorical great man to deliver a new world to you. Those figures only appear so great looking backwards, they reflect the workers they emerged from. All of us have fought alongside stronger comrades than them.
Comrades, this is the calm before climate change crashes down upon you. Unite as leftists and as socialists. Discard your privilege, your chains, your false pride. Seize liberation for all who are oppressed. Build your revolution.
i dunno. most libs still think the holodomor happened and that China is committing genocide
Whatever libs think of China has very little impact on the viability of leftist politics in the U.S.
That would be the case if it weren't for this important thing called "foreign policy"
IDK, I think we can maybe sell anti-interventionism to Americans, I'd honestly be happy as fuck with this country having a solidly anti-war SocDem party, but honestly I don't think all the propaganda about "muh Dictators!" is getting out of the American consciousness for at least another generation or two. In other words we can get people to oppose invading China but they're still gonna think Xi is the devil.
Most Americans don't care about foreign policy. They certainly don't care about it to the same extent they care about stuff that affects their ability to pay their bills, and they probably don't care about it as much as the bigger culture war issues (think abortion). Ask your average American what they think about Yemen and where it is on a map; you're not going to get an answer that reflects serious involvement with the issue.
You're right, though, that there's a solid thread of anti-interventionism that most Americans are receptive to (probably because it requires no knowledge of foreign policy). That's the biggest lever leftists can (and should) pull.
The base of support for the Bolshevik Revolution believed the Jewish conspiracy, up until mass literacy campaigns were carried out by the revolutionary government.
Ignorance is not some insurmountable problem. If we organize around peoples' material needs, the people will support us. Their ignorance doesn't matter.
