You didn't answer my question, jackass.
We're all miserable, and we're all already in the fight. We're fighting against bullshit liberalism that doesn't fucking work so we can move onto revolution.
You don't give a shit about working class people at all. All you care about is hegemony of speech and hegemony of thought. We're not going to bend the knee to the likes of you chauvinist liberals.
Listen, fuckface, you've had over 50 years to prove liberal democracy and electoralism to be a legit form of praxis. The US is a failed state, and you aren't helping anyone with your infantile cult-like evangelizing of the existing superstructure of the state that was built specifically to enslave and oppress the working class, people of color, and other relevant minority demographics (LGBTQ+ come to mind)
Yeah? I don't mind meeting you on the battlefield and letting our bullets do the talking. You're insufferable and your ideology is at an end globally. You're the one on the ropes here, not us. You're the one panicking and scrambling to save a system that is in complete, perfect opposition to working class interests.
Bullets are more effective than votes. This is class war. What are your class interests? What's your income look like? How about your housing situation?
You deliberately evaded my questions about your class interests, your income and housing situation, which is very telling. You seem to have the most to lose from US hegemony's collapse, thus you oppose our class interests.
Edit: Here's the information I wanted -
Again, no evidence to backup your claims here. You're talking about someone in a vacuum here, which doesn't work in the real world.
Violent revolution succeeded in China, Cuba, DPRK, Laos, Vietnam, and of course in the former Soviet Republics. Force works. Africa is using force to liberate itself from the yoke of colonialism and neo-colonialism.
Liberal democracy was always meant to be a dictatorship of the capitalist class. We got the New Deal from FDR back in the 40s because of the threat of violent revolution. It was meant to save capitalism and legitimize it in opposition to the Soviet Union. Basically all of the "social democracy" the New Deal provided is now gone, and not by accident.
You're not going to strip the teeth out of our class conflict and praxis. China is the new global leader and you can seethe and cope about it. The dictatorship of the working class will win. Communism will win.
I'm done engaging with you. History has already proven us to be on the right side of history, and you have nothing to offer working class people whatsoever.
Enjoy the dustbin of history.
They're banned now.
Being an affluent and sycophantic bootlicker for the ruling class places you in a different category, yes.
Congrats this is the dumbest shit I've read all month. Successful revolutions in the past had way less than 50% of people participating in them. Also there's a lot of things in modern day US that more than 50% of people agree on, like universal healthcare, yet it's nowhere near on the horizon, curious.
Of course you're a smug and insulated computer toucher.
