the left is completely dead in both the US and europe, more and more people are getting infected by Qanon and Trumpist shit, far right parties are gaining in europe and liberals are completely incompetent at dealing with them, the world is on fucking fire...

the revolution WILL come, but it'll come from the right :deeper-sadness:

    For real, the masses are shifting. The left is growing and the right is being propped up by the state/ruling class. The 1/6 riot was funded by corps and now that the tide is turning, it's going to be harder for them to keep funneling money to rightist orgs. Meanwhile, the left is thriving on nothing but being correct in a sea of lies.

    Biden will continue to prove to well meaning working class libs that there's no hope in the democrats, Trump will siphon off huge amounts of the Republican base with his bullshit party, DSA will probably end up endorsing some third party sometime in the next few years and the illusion of electoralism will vaporize before our eyes. There's a real opportunity to form a legitimate workers party and do electoralism the way Lenin talks about.

    Even if it all comes crashing down tomorrow and there isn't even a need for the formation of a workers party, most people would support a group like DSA over some Trump goons. Specifically because leftist orgs have been out there doing mutual aid and worker assistance for almost a year now. In my town, DSA went from completely unknown to basically everyone who works frontline knows them thanks to a mask distribution program. What does the right have? What have they done to rally the workers? What have they promised?
