    I've literally had people dismiss me like, you're a Marxist you just want to see the US destroyed. Motherfucker I love here. I actually prefer it not be destroyed .

      I disagree. The US can no longer exist in its current form for the world to ever recover.

      If that means that, by some miracle, a successful and peaceful communist revolution happens (by some minority-led resistance), the FBI/CIA/etc. are toppled, and the new government actually starts the long healing process, great. I would be incredibly suspicious of this outcome, but still, unnecessary bloodshed would of course be preferable. This would still not be the US as we know it.

      If that means that the US must be overthrown in a world war, then as much as I'd rather not have a world war, it has to happen. Allowing the US (or any of its other allies) to continue genociding millions, and harming and exploiting the lives of billions more, for the gain of a few is unacceptable by any legitimate moral standard.
