All the disease and sickness cannot just be excised like a tumor, it's too advanced, too widespread throughout the whole body, too deep in it's bones.
This isn't Stage 4 cancer, we've gone beyond that.
We're fuckin' Deadpool at this point: We ARE cancer.
I literally just got off the phone with my dad and said “our country does not have the solutions to deal with our problems.” From housing to a shortage of teachers in rural areas, the market and government does not have the tools to solve the variety of issues.
I’ve come to accept this country does not have a revolution in its DNA. Sure there will be discontent, mass protests, and more organizing but I’ve come to accept the reality revolution will never come to the imperial core. The best, we as leftists, can hope for is weakening the core of imperialism just enough to allow popular movements across the globe to flourish without us interfering.
It’s why I flipped on China. I’m admittedly not the biggest fan of China like most of this sub but their state capitalist system and government that actually plans out their policies in 5 year steps is blowing us out of the water. It’s been hilarious seeing the switch from “China is lying about their growth” to “China is going to eat our lunch”. We’re already seeing them take our place with the belt and road initiate and supplying the global south with excess vaccines. They’re already doing a better job than we have been.
Somebody pointed it out either here or in GenZedong, some resolution was passed on confronting the Belt and Road Initiative and without missing a beat, the very next day New York Times or some other MSM bullshit was posting articles about that instead of the Uighur thing. Like a switch being flipped. The government says they're concerned with one thing, our media starts dragging that. The government says they're concerned with something else now, and boom, like clockwork, the media pivots to that thing.

Yes from a "China-neutral" meta-pilled position it's pretty much the funniest thing possible how they're about to be totally dominant, and there's probably no way to stop it from happening (unless there's a hot war 😧)
