      Well I think what we can do is try and point out those contradictions in a way that resonates with the working class that is most affected by them. And believe me, this excellerationist stuff does not resonate. And, like you say organise community support. Show people that an alternative exists and is materially better for them. I think we should at least try to project a hopeful image of the future we want and try to make people believe that more is possible

          I get what you mean. I guess the problem I have is more of a nuance thing. I'd like to see us leftists jumping on this as an opertunity to build more community and class consciousness. Instead what I see a lot (I'm not accusing you of this) of then let them burn it all down as we stand, watch and laugh. So yes, I too want to see the Liberal institutions crumble. But the reason why is because I feel like they are devoid of real humanity. So what I would hope to see is us finally claiming the Moral high ground we're entitled to because our politics actually materially supports morality and justice, you know?
