    I think that the system in 'Murica is fucked and needs to be totally changed, but that requires the entirity of every single institution to be torn down and built again

    Barring some sort of cataclysmic event, that ain’t happening

    So your pissing and moaning will do nothing more than persuading people already inclined to do nothing to not get off their arses and vote against the Republicans

    Why would you take that approach?

      Revolution doesn’t require cataclysm, it requires a cohesive socialist party, high levels of class consciousness among the working class, and a crisis within the capitalist system, especially within the cohesion of the ruling class. The first two are directly actionable, you can join an org and do your best to spread socialist sentiment and educate others on socialist theory and practice. The last part is out of our direct control, but is made inevitable by the lack of sustainability of capitalism.
