Right wing conspiracy theorists: "YOU'LL SEE! IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE CHINESE COMMUNIST JEWISH MUSLIM SATANISTS ACTIVATE THEIR SPACE LASERS TO TURN THE EARTH INTO A SPHERE AND USE VACCINES TO RAISE CTHULHU FROM THE DEAD AND SNAP THE INFINITY GAUNTLET AND"
Left wing conspiracy theorists: "Ah shit we got proven right again."
Understanding why and how the US Empire is dying and what needs to be done to bring about Socialism is comforting.
Fuck it, shameless plug: check out my "Read Theory, Darn it!" introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list if you don't know where to start but want to begin with theory.
- Indeed, it's far less stressful to watch these events unfold when you understand the underlying mechanics and why they're happening.
  
  Haha speak for yourself. Understanding the underlying mechanics makes it obvious what comes next and I kind of wish we could just skip that part. 😅
- But only if you're doing what needs to be done.
  
  What is to be done?
- Exactly. This should be framed as a failed coup that will result in social reform/revolution. These clowns are poorly organized, on drugs most of the time, and have no clues how the social organism works.
  It's pretty shitty that they'll cause a lot of unnecessary pain tho.
  
  It's less a coup, and more the bourgeousie opting for a hammer to try to save itself from the trap it fell into by de-industrializing and shifting most production overseas. But you're right, revolution becomes more likely.
