I fucking hate living here. The culture is poison. The economy is a fucking disaster. The education is designed to leave a huge portion of the country illiterate. Every single atom of it is white supremacist. The land is all stolen. The capitalists are completely above the law. Fuck cars. Fuck America,

    Yeah it’s bad. Gerald Horne says that there’s a mass-base for fascism in the US, and that this in particular is something the US left really needs to grapple with. Every day, when I critically analyze my life as a white guy, I come to realize new evidence about just how true this is.

    Racialized class-collaboration, it’s very real and I personally need to figure out how avoid it to the greatest extent possible while still supporting my family and the struggle

      Correct. Western socialists need to be in panic mode for growing membership and keeping a basic, socialist party line (left unity yes, nazbol unity no). We are outnumbered 10:1, easily, and under deteriorating conditions the backlash will be to neoliberals, which the right (10 times bigger at least) will perceive as the left, making them capable of organizing similar to other fascists. If there's a comparison to be made to The Weimar Republic, the situation is much more dire, if less explicit in its motivations.

        There's no Soviet Union to save the world from Fascism this time. And the Fascists have nukes now. The situation is grim.

        Yep, there have been some going up in my town since last summer. They've been getting torn down as fast as they go up, but it's disturbing

      the amount of mental poisoning that makes people in america apply race lines to everything they see, and pretend their not when they are and enforcing white hegemony is just insane.
