It's not that he's wrong or cynical or the wrong kind of doomerpilled or whatever

It's just that he's pointing out problems without offering anything better. Criticizing people for being mad online but even admitting no real other solutions exist.

I really don't know what to do about that besides stay mad. :(

Matt is Bashir and we're all Rom in desperate need of a Chief O'Brien to help up bridge that gap between good theory and good practice.

I am not sober right now.

    But this ends up right back at the problem. Weak ineffective groups spread out.

    I kinda feel like people just don't have any real new ideas so we just sort of circle around and pine for the good old days of unions to come back (they won't, not unless you fundamentally change something to make them immune from the attacks that already killed them).

    We need someone who can form a real socialism with American characteristics (not racism. god damn't it's gonna be racism).

    But really we need to completely turn away from reformism and the idea that we can just pressure the system into turning into what we want when we want it.
