    The system doesn't care if I don't vote.

    In fact, in many instances, the system rewards the candidate most effective at squelching the votes of my constituents. That's one big reason why my options are Kang or Kodos to begin with.

      People care. And the religious level of support for said system cares.

      The thing that needs breaking in America in order to make progress with socialism is the political religion for institutions and the vote.

        That's absolute horseshit.

        The folks storming the capital last month had broken with institutions and electoralism. They weren't any kind of Socialists.

          Where did I say they were?

          You're making bizarre leaps of logic and behaviour from one thing to another.

            Hardly.

            You want people to lose faith in electoralism, but you don't want to ask what comes next.

              Every single collapse-of-the-US scenario is a positive outcome. It would be preferable to be more prepared for its coming eventuality, but it is absolutely preferable for it to collapse into a weaker and less stable state in the meantime.

                Glances at our nuclear stockpile

                I don't know about that.

                  That issue doesn't change at all in any end of america scenario. In actuality what it does is guarantee that when a collapse occurs there will be a dozen foreign countries that send troops in. The number of international interests that will be involved in such a collapse is very high. This is an issue that occurs whether its collapse involves a majority being socialist or not.

                  Either way, its collapse into a weaker unstable capitalist state would result in the successful revolution and growth of tens of dozens of foreign socialist states that have been consistently held down by the US since ww2. We would have 50+ socialist states today if not for the US. Its collapse in any possible way being a massive victory for the left absolutely can not be understated.
