Let’s not hold that thought. The universe is filled with the possibility of new beginnings.

A peaceful political revolution; I agree.

Looking pretty unlikely Marianne. Capitalism has a shelf-life and we're rapidly approaching it's end... if a peaceful revolution does not happen soon, a violent one will, and will end in either socialism or fascism.

A violent revolution in this country would definitely end with fascism.

The nonviolent way also seems to lead exclusively to fascism 😔

That’s historically inaccurate. The non-violent Indian independence movement ended with the British leaving India, and the civil rights movement ended with civil rights legislation dismantling segregation and passing the Voting Rights Act.

The fascism already exists. The problem is that it doesn’t touch everyone equally and so people can go to brunch while we LITERALLY starve Yemeni to death. How long do you permit this horror by telling people to vote when both sides are complicit? Your privilege needs examination

How many historical revolutions went towards fascism rather than away?
Replying to @marwilliamson @SBNasai
Violence breeds fascism yes, but it’s not coming from the working class, it’s coming from their oppressors😑 there is no reason we can’t fight violence with violence and it’s what many ‘peace’ activists ended up concluding after not being able to succeed peacefully

Also we can’t end up in fascism if we’re already here. We have nowhere to go but up. a revolution is maybe the only thing this moment calls for, when 50 years of neoliberal reformism and destruction of the working class literally led to fascism
