The USA is entering similar conditions to those seen from 1968–1972. These include imperial overreach, the normalization of acts of terror domestically, general disdain for the aging ruling class, stagnating wages, and open talk of civil war.
The main difference between the two periods is this: Gen Z has far more worse material conditions than the Boomers ever did, but at the same time far fewer direct casualties from proxy conflicts. American People aren’t dying in Venezuela, and probably won't unless the rest of the Manduro's party mobilizes the country.
Trump knows that if there is ever a draft, or if US troops start dying in large numbers, that would be the final breaking point. This is why he carried out the swift, public kidnapping of Maduro.
He understands that the US is in a crisis of capitalism, and as a result he is using, and has been using foreign threats (including the tariffs ofc), as an outlet for the interal crisis.
He is deverting internal class conflict within the US, outward onto the rest of the globe.
The main question that should be asked is this; since there is not a general organization of labor like the boomers had, will this cause a rise into smaller, but much more revolutionary organizations?
So true king
Wait for trump to leave office mate. I don’t think this is a us problem but a president problem. Not even Obama or bill clinton pulled this type of nonsense as brazenly and there like the worst recent examples when it comes to foreign policy
>>2626389Bill Clinton was not in a crisis of capital, and for obama it had just started. Also Bush did something similar too.
>>2626428what are the indicators of this crisis of capital
>>2626379>since there is not a general organization of labor like the boomers had, will this cause a rise into smaller, but much more revolutionary organizations?We are already seeing various radicalized individuals carrying out all kinds of terror attacks, from targeted assassinations to mass killings. While they usually aren't formal members, these individuals are often linked to/radicalized by small fringe groups like IS, Atomwaffen, etc.
I wouldn't say more "revolutionary", but more radical, definitely. A large proportion of young men from Gen Z are radical right wing of some sort, there's a potential for violent breakdown of society.
>>2626379>The USA is entering similar conditions to those seen from 1968–1972.Nah. The 1880s.
>>2626867This. We're reliving the gilded age and have no one to blame but ourselves.
>>2626379Trump doesn’t know that though. He honestly is that stupid.
>>2626889That's why I don't blame dictators for supporting him, he's senile and easy to manipulate.
