Thanks to the hard work of thousands of volunteers, the vast majority of people in this country can vote socialist this November!

Thankfully, the PSL is not deluded enough to be engaging in "revolutionary electoralism." Their candidacy is viewed firstly as a party-building effort (rather than a direct path to proletarian power) and secondly as a mechanism for heightening the contradictions inherent to bourgeois democracy: that the Republicans and Democrats worked together to kick them off the ballot in swing states -- Pennsylvania and Georgia -- serves to underscore the futility of bourgeois democracy and prime the public for a proletarian alternative.
So how many more contradictions until you burn down a military base? Asking for a friend.
As a back-of-the-envelope calculation? When at least a third of the populace, and half of the military ranks, have enthusiastically endorsed socialism over capitalism. There are no shortcuts. Jumping straight to firebombing a military base is adventurism.
Half the US military? We're talking about the same fascist military that either committed or supported the largest atrocities in modern history? The Amerikkkan military that is on the ground, right now, protecting a genocide in order to create a pretext to invade Iran? The Amerikkkan military that is currently trying to provoke a nuclear war with Russia?
Not in the next one hundred years will half your military and 30% of your population stop being nazis. That will never happen before you either 1) decay and collapse into civil war, 2) get everyone else killed, 3) force the rest of the world to destroy you, or 4) the earth becomes uninhabitable. Amerikkka is an imperialist colonial project that should not exist. You cannot reform it. If you care about the rest of the world, you should be burning your fascist empire to the ground to give the rest of us some breathing room and let occupied countries burn your military bases for you.
Ok. I'd love for you to walk us through your analysis of how doing that could be organized and carried out, and then what the likely responses would be. Otherwise, you're just an armchair revolutionary advocating for people to be either killed or spend their lives in prison for... what, exactly?
