That being said though, the application of Ghandian tactics to America actually seeks like a sound approach, although this still requires building a mass base using the slow, tedious, grinding work that you're constantly shitting on. That means supporting strikes, organizing demonstrations, participating in electoral campaigns, etc. since its exactly these tactics beginning to bear fruit that starts to attract the attention of the authorities and provoke repression. I can't help but feel that you would have denounced the Salt March or demonstrations that lead to Bloody Sunday in Russia in 1905 as liberalism, reformism, etc. You say that only 20% max will support you, that's still a mass movement that will require actually offering people a better future rather than just telling them that they're worse than Hitler if they want a pay increase or lower rent. You must know that much of this 20% will not initially have class or anti-imperialist consciousness, and that in order to achieve it they must first be brought into the movement with promises of immediate improvement of their conditions. Additionally, destroying the old society won't work unless you build something to replace it. A mode of production, a new social structure capable of establishing political and cultural hegemony, etc. Without this everything you accomplished would be incredibly fragile and susceptible to counter revolution. What's to stop reactionary forces from regrouping and smashing you if you have no lasting social base, nobody willing to defend whatever you've accomplished, no new society to keep the reactionary beast down? As the one true Marxist Leninist on this board, you must also be aware that the crippling blow to the American empire that even a temporarily successful revolution would have wouldn't be enough to stop climate change or alter the inexorable march or all capitalist societies towards imperialism. Even if it resulted in Balkanization of the US, other capitalist powers would endure and fill the vacuum. At best you will have accelerated the existing trend towards multipolarity, which is necessary but not sufficient. The irony of your position is that it would be a lot more sound if it weren't filled with so much vitriol for everybody around you, and for the boring tedious legwork of building a revolutionary movement. If you actually had a positive vision for the future you could communicate to potential followers, instead if relying on them being as bitter as you. Kudos though for graduating from your infantile "just start bombing factories" position that you held previously.
>>2265778>your lives of luxuryI didn't get dental for 10 years, let alone health insurance and when I finally did they kept changing my primary care physician to doctors further and further away, destroying the rapport I had built with my previous doctors, making it less practical for me to book appointments, and causing my various health disorders and issues to get worse without timely treatment. Meanwhile I have a child and a full time job. Tuition is unaffordable so I avoided college altogether after a couple of semesters. My job pays 40k/yr (so below median) but my dad makes even less than I do despite having a master's degree. He is still in student debt in his 60s. Meanwhile I take care of my maternal grandparents and my wife's mom. I live in a suburban house but I do not pay a mortgage, I rent from a landlord who himself rents a town house. The house is 60 years old, has hard water, electrical problems, mold, and a hurricane blew away the fence. This is the "life of luxury". I never joined the military but I must abandon and endanger my wife and autistic child to redeem myself for being le evil burger who, by consuming food from the grocery store, and occasionally watching pirated slop, is complicit with every CIA coup and imperialist invasion and IMF loan ever. I must go out now and do uMkhonto WeSizWe shit to impress a stranger online. Makes sense.
Everyone on here should read The Terror Factory by Trevor Aaronson. It's about how FBI agents regularly reach out to alienated people in radical spaces online and encourage them to do dumb shit as part of sting operations that they contrive to justify higher budgets and more surveillance. You're doing the "nudge" tactic. >>2265794You're still ignoring the urgency of climate change. We have to do this quickly. We do not have the time to wait, we must supercharge our efforts.
We can't build anything meaningful while the state continues to exist, anyway. It is impossible to overcome the panopticon that holds us all down without first demolishing the system.
>>2265807Once again, you use hyperbole combined with an almost painful lack of understanding of history to provide yourself with more excuses for doing nothing. Go look up how many fighters MK actually had before you spout off this nonsense. The majority of people are not involved in the illegal or guerrilla struggle, their job is only to make the path of the guerrilla easy and his enemy's hard. Even that seems like it would be difficult for you. Perhaps Socialism just isn't for you? If you aren't willing to sacrifice anything, you will get out of this exactly what you've put into it.
Nothing.
>>2265851I am just a little creecher anon, when ur yelling at me for doing revolution wrong pic related is who ur yelling at
>>2265852Between that and the whole Northwest Territory Imperative thing, I think in the event of the collapse of the United States the overt nazis and white supremacists will probably have their stronghold in Cascadia
>>2265862>>2265847>>2265846Every time I see such a ridiculous result, I immediately discover the poll it comes from is completely bunk either due to a discrepancy or miscalculation, or because it’s a complete fabrication by the desperate right (liberals).
In this first poll, it is only 11% of a select few people they gathered. I am not concerned by this result at all besides the mere existence of people who actually think this. Anyone who actually tries to inflate this issue is nothing more than a reactionary liberal who cannot read statistics, and immediately trusts every poll they lay their eyes upon.
The second one is from VICE news. I don’t really need to say more to be honest.
