    Fucking reruns. I’ve seen this one before.

    This is the one that ends with rich people’s heads in baskets.

      I wish but I dunno… Occupy Wall St fell apart, and I think without a dedicated leftist group organization this is bound to fail as well. The red scare broke any chance of a labor party in the country for generations, and assuming we survive the current dictator (and I’m somewhat optimistic so let’s go with that), I think we’ll be back to status quo soon enough. There was a brief period during lockdown where even normies could somewhat tell that money is all just kinda made up, but that’s a distant memory at this point.

      I think the absolute limit of what we can realistically hope for during a regime change is better health care, and don’t get me wrong that would be a huge step in the right direction. But otherwise I don’t have much expectation that we’ll stop being wage slaves, let alone be eating the rich any time soon.
