I would like to apologize to every Black leftist that ever fucking told me this country needed a revolution not a reformation.

It's been a few years since I thought that we could fix it, but...HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

If we take one lesson from the genocide, from the threatening nuclear war, from the literal concentration camps:

No system which produces this can be tolerated. Period. At all. For any reason. It can only be destroyed.

I don't care if he's just blustering. I don't care.

Burn it all down.

@CharlotteEowyn I’m a product of the system, made by its pressure cookers of reductionism. The trick isn’t your fault, the center always looks fine while the rest of us are sticking to the sides of the pot and burning. I’ve never debated everything needed to be torn down. I merely waited for what I knew was inevitable. Well… I’ve been waiting so long that my life is almost over now. I don’t blame anyone anymore. Not myself, others, the government, or the world. None of us knows what we are doing. Like children playing with guns.

@CharlotteEowyn

Just finish off that Civil War thing, but this time get the guillotines out!

@CharlotteEowyn

He is not blustering
He is dipping the toe
Testing the reaction
NORMALISING

@CharlotteEowyn

Well then by all means
Do it
You apparently have more guns in that country than people
If Nepal could do it then there are no excuses

But talking about it and not following through won't save you
You gotta start making bodies for the body hole
Liberty or Death and all that

There is no military solution to capitalism, the root cause of the last three centuries of war. Capitalism is not a military problem, it’s an economic problem. It needs an economic solution: #GeneralStrike

"If the workers are organized, all they have to do is to put their hands in their pockets and they have got the capitalist class whipped." -- Big Bill Haywood

@CharlotteEowyn Split it into multiple nations please!

I think it's reasonable to acknowledge *both* that sometimes an entire system needs to be taken down and restarted AND that it is easier to break things than to fix them.

Revolutions are extremely risky and should not be go-to responses. But a system can get so bad, it's more harmful than chaos.

We should still do our best to pull out the most broken parts rather than mindlessly tear it all apart in understandable frustration.

@wolftune @CharlotteEowyn It is not a simple matter to dismantle and yet over time look how effectively the EpsteinClass, MAGA, plutocracy, whatever you want to call it and it's all part of a single ethnonationalist authoritarian crusader order, has demolished the middle class in the retrospective blink of an eye, and the Dēmos - its intergenerational wealth & savings, its Society, security, sacred institutions including its public squares & campuses, virtually all its Public Goods in less than half a century. So, no: it is not easier to fix, otherwise it would be possible - likely, even - to bring democracy to the United States.

@wolftune @CharlotteEowyn
First, refuse to allow them without challenge to designate #rebellion as 'riot'. Brothers and sisters, I wanna tell you something: I hear a lot of talk by a lot of honkies sitting on a lot of money tell me they're high society. But I'll let you know something. If you ask me, this is the high society. This is the high society!

No. listening to a record is not a revolutionary act - not necessarily.
