      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.
