Never forget what happened on April 20th, 2014, when the militia came to Ludlow and massacred the striking miners' families.
Modern estimate: at least 19 (12 children and 2 women) and at least 5 strikers. Brutally murdered in choking flames and bullets. The militia suffered a single casualty.
They had paramilitaries hyped up on insane anti-left and anti-semitic conspiracy theories out there busting heads though, just like today. There’s some serious overlap
My fear is that all of this will be normalized like everything else has been. I can come to no other conclusion, as long as “business as usual” is able to continue even under worsening conditions the majority working class in the US will not seek out any alternative.
The reason why Covid was such a radicalizing force was “business as usual” wasn’t able to continue. I don’t know if these tariffs will create similar disrupting waves to the ‘usual” in the same way as Covid. Prices of everything will rise in excess of tariffs to increase profit.
But the lockdown era prices have largely just become the new ‘usual”….
ok I’m gonna fall asleep hope this rant didn’t come off as doomerish.
Regardless of any single pushing force the education and organization of the working class is a must now. look into local socialist orgs DSA FRSO PSL
just finished repairing the house after the last time we had a flood (which was preceded by a drought) and if I gotta go through that again I'm crashing out unimaginably hard
You forgot the government sanctioned kidnappings, torture, wars, corruption, incompetent leadership, mass extinctions and the accelerating overall decline of the planet.
Dawn of a golden age for Media!
If they had only survived capitalist greed.
