  • The other hand of the issue is the Democrats have repeatedly failed to recognize and manage the necessary decline of capitalism. It’s “necessary” because capitalism had globalized and essentially run out of land and people too exploit.

    Exploited countries will push (are pushing) back, and/or look for other options (China, etc). Because the Democratic party is a pro-capitalism party, they are unable to recognize this situation. Republicans recognize it and turn up the heat, both internally and externally. For a lot of (foolish) Americans, this looks like an appealing option.

    The democrats could sweep 2028, but it means the snapback is going to be even more intense in 2032 when they fail to govern.

    Under capitalism, kayaking the time to get to know your neighbors is revolutionary behavior. When things go sideways, the people in direct geographic proximity to you are going to be the ones in best position to support you (and one another). It’s best to start laying that groundwork asap.

    Being involved in wider activism is also a grounding and fulfilling. You don’t need to join a revolutionary socialist party like PSL (but you can if you want to go hard), even joining a park cleanup day or something like that is a good place to be.
