Political impotency with praxis paint
Any expected positive outcomes from this are the result of a uniquely american collective amnesia
The best that can be hoped out of this is that the rise in left adjacent electoralism stokes fear in the moderate and fascist right, provoking a tragedy that would do more for class consciousness and solidarity, than years of short lived legislative and electoral gains ever could
On September 2, the Instagram account for StopIce.net shared a video identifying a Border Patrol agent involved in a recent Los Angeles area immigration raid and welcoming him to a “wall of shame.” Meta gave the users just 10 days to challenge the subpoena before their information would be released to the government, according to The Intercept.
Exposing the identities of ICE agents on social media only to have the exposure of your own identity threatened by the same platform caving to ICE is an irony befitting what has become the most common, inadequate response to fascist violence in the U.S.
A shared suffering may be what finally unites us in the face of a complete lack of political ambition and class consciousness amongst north american settlers. Something that even I myself have become a slave and solicitor of.
We will have to watch the boots tread, for now.
Not laughing but excited to see the inventible and necessary accelerated.
These meager and disappointing gains have and only will turn people away.
Some folks will gain class consciousness sure, but then they will become demoralized when the object of their support proves ineffective in an electoral system designed to please private interest, and placate the public into passivity- not push material conditions to new heights.
Even if the purported best case scenario takes place- and material conditions improve for the average person, we will be worse off.
Mass class consciousness in the united states can only be born of political unrest, and that unrest will not come easily if americans are comfortable.
We are not to do nothing however, for now it’s best that we continue to grow our own circles both locally and nationally, agitate, and be ready to pull people out of the future’s rubble- taking advantage of what is clearly inevitable: amerikkka’s self destruction.
