The fact is, in the U.S especially- you are either a reactionary or you’re left adjacent and too comfortable with your imperialism dividends to make the required sacrifices needed for a mass movement.
I think this is why even some self described MLs advocate for electoral solutions, it’s the easy way out.
Fascism must be allowed to rise and fall in the, U.S americans must go through a revolutionary crisis- it’s the only needle that can penetrate the balloon of american hubris. The last century has proven this, yet we’re told to prolong the inevitable and necessary with soc dem elections / dead-end - non-militant organizing.
Trump, his cronies, and the tech twats have done more to put the U.S and much of the left into a positive position than many of the civil-centric organizing left adjacent people have ever done. People want to talk about material interests driving class consciousness and political fervor- well those are the people driving the needed material conditions.
I align with your pessimism.
