These are ridiculously easy things to fix from a technical standpoint, though- we just need our political impasses resolved. I don't think we're in the crisis of the third century, we're in the collapse of the oligarchic republic preceding the emergence of a popular dictator (in the Roman sense), either coming from a mass movement to expand democracy and struggle against the global capitalist class (establishing America as a socialist republic), or a "populist" individual leader who establishes the beginnings of an actual, mask off empire that "reconciles" the class struggle through hyperexploitation of the periphery (from our perspective it will be ecofascist but it's almost certain to be multicultural, which will throw a lot of people off)

What we really need to resolve this polarization is the unity of our trust and the trust of our unity :pete:
