    The more it is evident that the US empire is on the decline and fascism in the western world is on the upswing the less I care about sucdem liberals and their tailism.
    The coming decades are going to be marked with the US losing it and it’s political order’s grip on countries around the world, as well as climate disaster and the immigration/refugee crisis that will follow it.
    The answer to this will inevitably be fascism, but no one on the American “left” seems to be operating under this reality.
    Catering only to the backwardness and comfort of the American working class and liberal sensibilities will do nothing to fight this or advance the cause of socialism without principled anti-imperialism.

    The sucdems can tut-tut and go “how do you expect to build your movement” but if it’s a movement of social chauvinists then it doesn’t matter.
    Frankly, I don’t think there is any timeline where the US is saved from fascism internally as things stand.

        You should also back Nazis in the opposition to play exestential chicken with the electorate where they only have a choice between good cop Nazi or Bad Cop Nazi. This is smart and pragmatic strategy that adult politicers do.
