    America flavored socialism is scary just in the way they think. Scary because it will suppress actual revolution for years. There will be some token efforts and in the end will be bluemaga

      This is accelerationist bullshit. People are more capable of organizing mass movements when they aren’t forced to focus on survival. Organized labor in the US was the strongest it had ever been under FDR’s social democracy. Advancing welfare in a capitalist economy actually heightens contradictions because it becomes more clear to the working class that those things are good and that the owning class opposes it.

      …I think you put this abrasively, and in a “tankie” kind of way.

      But mark my words, bluemaga will happen. I dunno who, we’re gonna get a Democrat Trump, for sure.
