    I agree 100%. When you're out there today with organizers and activists putting in the work, you see a hell of a lot less infighting and dumb counter productive bullshit. The material conditions in America in 2020 demand something new.

    All of the people who are anti-capitalist and believe that the value of a human being is in being human, not how much they can sell their labor for, we are all allies in the class struggle. We don't have time to debate endlessly over minutae because many crisis are converging at once in our time.

    Climate change is continuing to accelerate and cause increasingly worse annual weather events. Hurricanes are beginning to form in the Gulf of Mexico (2 at a time which has never been seen before), a pandemic is still ravaging the nation and because of it the prison labor population (used as firefighters) of California cant mobilize so half their state is on fire. Be cause of the pandemic and an uncaring government we also will soon have millions of people removed from their homes and left to fend for themselves during a time already seeing heightened street violence because of a mass uprising against the police state.

    We need plans to deal with what is before us, not what has happened in the past. This situation is entirely unprecedented and calls for many types of action. MLs, Ancoms, MLMs, Libsocs, Demcons, whatever you claim to be, you are needed right now. Now, right now is the time to be organizing and to literally be in the street fighting for a better world.

    I legit wish Patton would have swayed the US and UK to attack the Soviets in '45 with Operation Unthinkable. They would have gotten swept to the Atlantic coast and the world would be a better place probably.

    "Between 2013 and 2019, average home prices increased by 47% while wages rose only 16%. The affordable housing shortage has caused countless families to be trapped in a vicious cycle where a seemingly good job is no longer able to cover basic necessities after a few years.

    In July, 1-in-3 renters did not make a full on-time rent payment. The figures for homeowners were almost as high. As mass evictions are poised to ravage communities throughout the U.S., there are calls for the federal government to step up and renew the moratorium."

    The bourgeoisie simply aren't of the same reality as us anymore. They're at such a level of obscene wealth and power that these tremendous issues just don't seem to bother them in the slightest. No FDR new deal is coming, tens of millions of people will be left to fend for themselves.
