the supreme court is acting exactly as it was originally designed: as a mechanism to protect the ultra wealthy.
originalists have always been dangerous because they wanted to roll back centuries of liberal & progressive reforms to the extremely flawed & morally compromised US Constitution.
ideally enough of the wealthy still understand how brutal open class warfare is that they help us fix this ship before it sinks.
revolution is an act of desperation. you have no guarantees going in that you’ll win & a lot of vulnerable people you love will die in horrible ways. don’t thirst for it.
reform is viewed as a dead end because the wealthy tend to do the exact bullshit the supreme court did today & purge any laws that don’t benefit them.
there needs to be counter pressures in place. that’s why they’re so scared of protests & are trying to criminal masks. no justice, no peace.
There aren’t necessarily direct answers, but we can learn from studying the work of people who lived through similar class conditions to the ones we are in now.
If things get really, really dark, there is a lot to learn from the resistance movements that fought during World War II in occupied countries, but I’m hoping we don’t have to learn those tactics.
eh, Lenin is a fascinating & flawed historical figure. The United States spent a lot of money & effort during the cold war trying to convince folks both him & Marx were ideological boogeymen.
i’m anarcho-communist. we can totes have that discussion sometime & i’d probs agree with most of it lol
Lenin is interesting to me because of his flaws. I don’t believe in great men. I’m interested in what the human responses to stress points in history are. Does that make sense?
