You’re wrong because most of the left-adjacent efforts in the U.S are actually counter-productive, not useless.

As others in this thread have mentioned, conditions need to deteriorate in the U.S for class consciousness to proliferate. Yet the two largest left-adjacent orgs in the U.S (DSA / PSL) are putting in immense effort to elect soc dems and self proclaimed socialists who will attempt to save capitalism from itself FDR style. Of course no effort in re-distributing the spoils of imperialism is possible without the imperialism part, so none of these figures can really do anything to put an end to global exploitation- just make U.S citizens more comfortable with it happening. And that’s also where the supposed rise in class consciousness meets its ceiling, imperialism. What incentive do U.S citizens have to end their source of luxury? Having to see the suffering on their tiktok feed? Well that problem’s just been solved.

It’s doomer to think that their’s zero hope for the U.S. It’s reality to mention that despite decades of genocidal war right wingers and cult members (think Waco) are out flanking leftsists in domestic armed struggle.

But really how funny is it that there’s now a perfect excuse (that I agree with) for the left adjacent in the U.S to sit around? We’ve now been given the Materialist conclusion that the perfect time to strike will be some sort of depression in the U.S.

As if there wasn’t already one in the past, ha. I suppose we’ll just have to wait around and see if it’s different this time, or if the actually armed, actually trained fascists take the advantage first.
