All the libs will go back to brunch and sleepwalk for another 4 years. Harris will fail at everything she does and make life worse, especially for Muslims, and the left will be blamed for everything. The right will dig their heels in even more on reaction, yada yada, y'all know how this show goes.

What left. Americas left has already been utterly destroyed at anything other than the hyper local level.

The only left that exists in the US is the one you build with your comrades and your community. Mutual aid will continue no matter who is in power and right now I'm afraid that's the best we've got.

Dual power is seeming more and more like the only reasonable course of action, despite the many criticisms you can make of it from a historical/Marxist perspective

Nope it’s organized Marxist party and labor movement, same as it always was and will be under capitalism

ok, never said I disagreed with that.

So what is that Marxist party building in this period where revolutionary violence does not have public support, electoralism is a lost cause, and propagandizing is ineffective due to a lack of material circumstances necessary for workers to be receptive? Do nothing? No, of course not, I wonder what we could do in the meantime...

oh yeah it's dual power lol

also this is a very pointless aside, but didn't most of those previous revolutions happen in countries with a peasantry class? I don't really think it's American exceptionalism to imply every (including but not limited to the U$ of A) current primarily two-class capitalist country will need to take different strategies from before.

the black panther party is so americanlly exceptionalist, how dare they run a children's breakfast program instead of using that funding to hand out more flyers /s

Idk maybe I'm just using the term dual power wrong sorry in advance

Black panther party was a Marxist-Leninist Party. Generally when people say “dual power” in the west they aren’t talking about Marxist-Leninist parties
