Everyone should just give up on america at this point. Its a rotten place that wont reform for the good. Its people are so docile that they wont do anything unless you turn off their porn. Ameircans found out about epstein class and did nothing about it. Their protests are just peaceful parades that dont do anything. Theyre general strikes are just 1 hour long. Its a horrible country which daily terrorizes other countries for fun and its population is so depressed that they dont give a shit about any of that and they dont even care whats happening to each other and they dont care if pedophiles are ruling over them, they dont care about being lied to since they where born, theyd rather go to brunch or just watch some netflix garbage. Maybe im being pessimistic, but idk i think im being realistic and i feel justifies having this kind of attitude towards the empire and the people who live in it.

As usual, please base your thinking in Marxist Dialectical materialism and not emotions and vibes.

At the very least try to explain things materially. Yes, all these bad things have happened and the US populace hasn't rebelled. At the very least do some analysis instead of giving up. The fact that this has occurred is an indictment of liberalism and all its failures, the fact people haven't rebelled is an ultimate prover of Marxist theory over all others. It is backwards to say otherwise.

Edit: I think the reason i hate these posts so much is that they lack all courage. They throw their hands up into the air and say "well, we've tried everything." Marxists have not spent 200 years developing dialectical materialism as an analysis method just to give up. At least Sakai tried. I still disagree but I'll respect him for giving me something to wrestle with and consider.

How many times have i heard about revisionists originating from a failed revolution? From Germans to French to whomever else. Their revolution did not come and so they gave up. They declared marxism dead because they thought marxism to be god. The hippy revolution didn't come so they declared marxism dead. The USSR fell and the great Angela Davis herself fell to reformism. Why? Because they did the same thing.

Ultra leftists in western Europe constantly declared a revolution impossible everywhere because they weren't courageous enough to fight for it.

Liberals constantly use the lack of revolution as an indictment against marxism. Perhaps it's different words, but to declare the revolution dead is to commit suicide before the first shot is even fired.

Also a quick reminder that the bloody Sunday of 1905 was done not on Bolsheviks or Mesheviks or SRs or anarchists, but on conservative Tsarists who were pleading with the Tsar, singing patriotic hymns and had no wider political demands. They were certainly criticized for this by Bolsheviks and such but it was the ultra leftists who threw their hands up and said Russia was too backwards for revolution while the Bolsheviks kept trying. Need I remind everyone who succeeded in the end?
