      Not to be all negative, but we are back to square one. Nothing meaningful will happen in the movement in our lifetime. All we can do is try to get people to see it our way and then maybe when we’re old, they’ll come cut our heads off with broadswords because they perceive what we have going on as “too right wing”.

      I’d love to be taken out in a revolution by some whippersnappers who think I’m The Man™

        Depends on the movement, I reckon. The fascist movement is going to force the US to be destroyed, and if the left can organize in anticipation of that, there will be a chance to create strongholds and build new societies in the balkanized aftermath. Either way, as that happens, the the global south will blossom with the imperialists absent.

          I appreciate the optimism, but even “progressive” libs are still punching left because somehow all 145 of us caused them to lose the election. They have zero self reflection, so I anticipate at least another generation before there’s enough groundwork to strike. I don’t think we have that much time.
