Agree with you on the organization front. Awakening mass class consciousness should be the focal point of every single person left of center.

The post war economy created the most prosperous working class in history but at whose expense?

The entire post-war period is littered with the US toppling third world anti-imperial movements for the sake of bolstering its position in the world/gaining economic advantage. It’s a farce. It was unsustainable. It required the slaughter of countless people to hold up that US economy. And that’s not even getting to the modern imperialist project held up by the IMF, forcing disadvantaged nations to essentially fully give themselves over to American corporations with no material gain on their part.

This and other events are the source of the tech joke that AI stands for “Actually Indians”

Agreed. I would say yeah we likely are at one of those historical inflection points. But I think what we do in the interstitial period matters a lot. It’s now apparent that these systems that we were told were immovable can be dismantled rather quickly.

The hinge point we sit on is whether or not we allow the existing ruling class to consolidate power and create the new world or if working class people take back the power that belongs to them. I think the doomer attitude favors the prior.

At this point it’s already happening one way or another so either you resign yourself to the fact that the world you knew is over and do everything in your power to make something better or you cede the future to those who certainly won’t. I’m not delusional, I know things suck. The planet is irreparably damaged. Wallowing in that fact does nothing, it’s a bridge to nowhere.

Every generation has had its own set of crises that could “never be overcome”. Being a doomer is letting them win. A better future only happens if we make it happen.

I would counter that by saying Twitter encouraged people to learn brevity and clarity when communicating their thoughts. LLMs on the other hand encourage a bloated verbosity that no one wants to read. It’s like Corporate Memphis but with words.

The withering of the state as a concept is a foundational part of ML theory and it does seem as though you’re being intentionally obtuse. I don’t think you would run into a ton of people who believe that OPs meme is an implausible situation as this is the exact reason continuous revolution exists as a concept. The transitional state has to be scrutinized so as not to become a tool of bourgeois capitalism once more.

So yeah to echo what the others said to you: you should read more theory. Your understanding of these concepts seems to be more memetic than anything.

Lithium is the nationalized resource we want from Mexico

The wealthy and powerful see the bodies of the working class the same way they see the natural resources of the planet. When all your value has been extracted, your husk will be cast aside or used as a means to extract wealth or value from someone else.

Screeching at people who didn’t vote for the incumbent party running a k-shaped economy and funding a genocide isn’t going to get you anywhere. You can’t run on “oh this guy is so bad” if you spent 4 whole years doing nothing about the guy who is so bad and expect to win, especially if you start racing him to the bottom on immigration and foreign policy.
