I've been wanting to do a big effort post on what I feel like I've learned about the ideology of America and combining it as a socialist project for the what the future holds, so I guess I'm gonna fucking do that now. CW kind of Doomer.
Although Covid isnt over yet, the complications and reality bending of it is for the most part done. We know some 600,000 to 800,000 people are or have died from it due to however we actually count everything. Millions, myself included, are unemployed and probably wont have work for the rest of year or even further.
Meanwhile, our politics have taken a completely different turn in a completely stupid way. As though the last 4 years never happened and Hillary Clinton is president, Joe Biden is continuing a failed route of liberalism that will radically shift huge portions of the population away from expressive politics. Whether those people are lumpenprole radical disillusioned with the idea of voting in the wake of the democratic primary stolen once again by a media apparatus and cabal of industry elites, or the petit bourgeoisie who no longer have to suffer under the auspice of Bad Orange Man; these people are no longer reachable by the liberal project to engage in anything approaching what is happening, not that Joe Biden even wants to do anything. The revolution promised by people like Bernie Sanders felt hollow after his capitulation to so much of the democratic establishment for 5 years, and as the more right leaning people of the project split to billionaire-backed snakes like Elizabeth Warren, even in the face of so much horrifying depravity.
So now that we're here, Covid be damned, what else can happen? What will finally shift the American system to change? I think like many people here, we could achieve socialism in our time; we could achieve a better world through the system if we just rammed hard enough against it. But I now know from Covid, that that is liberalism, and it is a poison pill for us. Its going to take a lot more dead people. We've had a plague, and we're now going to have poverty, but as long as so many can pretend that history isnt happening and can turn to their opiate comforts of sports and culture. But climate change will finally offer us the last of the trinity, it will show us the world where no human society has persisted. Soon we will have a famine and thirst, and then a war. Only then will the millions of people die to make the American system change. Kropotkin was wrong when he said that revolutions are an act of hope. In the American dialect, they happen because they have to, because the condition of existence cant be maintained. The only hope is then; will we be alive to see the end of Capitalist Realism?
