Isn't that the entire point? lol

Imagine this conversation in 18th century France.

Peasant: Should we do a revolt?

Other peasant: Are you kidding? I'm down to my last loaf of bread over here, no way!

Americans love making excuses because working class solidarity is pretty much impossible for them to even imagine. It's a settler colonial state to it's very roots.

It's the same reason you won't see socialist leanings in Israel. At best it'll be fascism pretending to be socialism. Remember ACP?
