edit: Also, currently in Colorado the worst insult both a liberal and a fascist levies at transplants is "Californian". Even before a true exodus it has caused that exact cultural shift and driven up the cost of living to the point that other transplants can't afford to live in the area. Because they're coming from PMC positions and high-tech economies, they displace local workers as the state tries to transition to a high-tech economy as a matter of basic survival. They're coming from a state without guns, supremely hostile to guns, to a very heavily-armed area that hates them.
A bit of Bolshevism never hurt anyone. California's fires are as complex as ours, but in large part stem from the private mismanagement of their main power company- PG&E- and drought being worsened by unsustainable private water usage. Their state fire corps is so underfunded that it has to use prison labour while the people who own the almond groves vote against public protection and hire private firefighters. There's a shitload of wealth there and yet such a wealth gap that it's two very different states depending on your income. Hostility toward migrant populations is rooted in the existing material inequalities of the receiving state and their social framing. Colorado is primed against transplants when one guy in this area owns 13k acres of land and property speculators make buying a home nearly impossible. The transplants are the people delivering their packages and making their food while they hide in their luxury cabins. Midwestern hatred toward the coasts is because the Midwest is a developing nation outside of its major cities and that's just as artificially imposed by their local kulaks and the coastal liberals.
You asked a socialist for the solution, not what American lumpens and liberals are willing to do about it. My point in this thread isn't so much that there's going to be a constructive alternative possible as it is that Foucault's boomerang is going to bonk them for the thing they created and the moral conditions they enforce in their own backyard. I fully expect the worst possible outcome in most of those places and it's because of the people posting in that r/losangeles thread.
The BLM protests were mostly liberal efforts. From the get-go nothing about them made me optimistic as an ML and they showed every practical and philosophical limitation of that ideology. That's why I specified Bolshevism over more genericised means of revolt. When that movement is the largest focal point for unrest in the country, people will flock to it. When it doesn't seize that moment with a larger project, it's just the slightly more radical reformist effort than the democrats.
