    It’s absolutely practical, actionable, and realistic, though. If you live in the US, you can join the PSL, as an example, and work towards this goal. Which part in particular do you think isn’t actionable or practical?

        I already told you that the aim is revolution. Nobody thinks PSL is going to win the 2028 presidency, or that the working classes now are already organized. We get there by organizing. The fact that there’s work to do doesn’t mean the work is impossible or pointless, this kind of “if revolution isn’t instant then it’s worthless” is the kind of attitude adopted by people that sit on their hands and doomscroll for the entirety of their political existence.

            No? The US Empire is decaying due to its own internal contradictions, nor are we waiting for a magical greater good, but instead organizing right now. You can stop with the dehumanization and ageism, you have no counter-arguments so you hide behind insults.

                I am making an argument, though.

                You’re saying this is a prime opportunity for global socialism without explaining how or why

                I did. The increase in globalization and complexity in international trade is laying the groundworks for a socialist system characterized by collectivized production and distribution, the issue is with the present system of ownership. That requires revolution.

                and with no realistic or actionable methodology that in any way accounts for actual political reality

                I’m suggesting we organize in working class parties for revolution, a strategy that has worked dozens of times around the world in varying conditions. Organization isn’t there yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, just that it takes hard work.

                Literally all you’re saying is that we should try socialism after the total downfall of society which is about as useful as an asshole on your elbow.

                I’ve never said that, though. I’ve said that the US Empire is declining, life is getting harder to afford, and this is increasing working class organization.

                Again, all you do is hide behind insults and refuse to engage with my points.
