I think you're correct. But if so, that means a lot of people are going to die and even after they die, we have no guarantee that the next power structure will be any better.

    Yes, absolutely.

    My fear is whether Americans will choose socialism right now. I'm in a very queer, anarchist bubble and I'm not sure how to tell how popular this sort of thought is.

    My concern is how thoroughly Americans have rooted socialists out of power and how all of our media will insist that we need more fascism, not less.

    The death toll of capitalism is much, much higher than any of us can imagine. We should aim to have the most peaceful revolution possible, but we also should be realistic, and I know for a fact that the ruling class aren't going to go without a fight. We can starve them out, I believe, for the most part, but yeah, there will definitely be death and suffering, I can't deny that. But a lot of people are dying NOW. And for nothing. We can at least die trying to make a better world. That's something I'm willing to die for.
