Any resistance is good, the ocean is made of an uncountable multitude of drops. But don't expect to see a major shift in our lifetime.
As an aside, I would counter that the US gov isn't fully fascist. Fascism isn't sustainable for the amount of time the US has been in business. This is a hybrid of more sustainable subjugation of the rest of the world, some kind of neo-liberal-fasco-capitalist. It finds a balance of the contradictions, whereas fascism is blind to the possibility of contradictions and shoots itself in the foot. I feel a though the hegemony of the US is so well established that it might not ever be able to be hijacked. But I could be way off base, predicting the future is a fruitless endeavor.
Fair enough. Pls forgive my oversimplification.
No, there's nothing you need to be forgiven here for. The US government doesn't deserve nuance in our rhetoric. If we're actually analyzing systems and material conditions, we need to, but in day to day life and the effects on the working class it's a distinction with little difference.
