[a green character looks anxious, speaks] I fear some people in this movement may have a racial bias issue

[a yellow character looks pissed, raises their hand and talks back] Now’s not the right time to be saying that We can’t afford to be turning away people Stop trying to divide us racially You are an agitator

[the yellow character is now looking distraught] Huh, the movement has been coopted by liberals and fizzled out Nobody could have predicted this outcome

[2026] The exact same situation repeats

[2028] The exact same situation seems to be repeating endlessly

    Calling for a reform… current parties are too focused on corporations and their own pockets… fundamental rebirth of a nation… now where did I hear this before…

    (No matter the party, nations are still bourgeois dictatorships - if you change the parties or their names, the existing material conditions will force parties to behave in more or less the same way (best seen with crises of capital). This applies to every nation in existence, it’s just less pronounced given less dominant economic position + internet being mostly US centric. The only way to permanently fix this is to get rid of underlying social relations and what manifests them e.g. private property, commodity production, wage labor and so on.)

      That’s an interesting way of looking at it that I suppose I have thought of but haven’t really considered it in depth. I suppose my mentality has been “work within the accepted framework because trying to convince people of anything else feels impossible.”

      I’m likely ignorant to a lot of this, however.

      I wouldn’t be opposed to a change like that though. As long as conditions improve for everyone and it’s peaceful, I dont think i care what kind of system is put in place as long as everyone is treated properly. But now that I think about it more I can kinda get where you’re coming from. I am curious if it would work at scale, and in the meantime, what we could do about things currently. It feels like that would be a polar opposite of capitalism entirely.

      Anyways, sorry, im rambling with my thoughts here.
