Ah I’m not an accelerationist. I don’t believe in taking the most painful path to progress because that sounds miserable and people deserve to live lives worth living.

You know you could just talk to people or read a book…

I think we are mixing democratic socialism and social democracy here.

Democratic socialism is literally the classical political perspective of the revolutionaries from early 1900s whereas social democracy is a political ideology where reformism is the endgoal. I know in modern contexts much of this revolutionary fervor has been liquidated into reformist tendencies but as a communist who firmly believes in democratic centralism and the obvious need for a socialist revolution in service of the creation of a communist society, I am comfortable calling myself a democratic socialist but reject the label of social democrat.

Reforms are not bad. Pushing for reforms can be in service of creating a larger revolutionary moment but it cannot be the endgoal of the movement or the politics advancing it otherwise it is simply fighting for a nicer form of capitalism that extends the longevity of the bourgeoisie’s hegemonic power. We are not going to free ourselves from the grips of capitalism overnight. We are not going to change the hearts and minds of people who have by and large lived every waking moment of their life indoctrinated into neoliberalism all at once. It will necessarily be a gradual thing but we must keep our eyes on what the ultimate goal is and ensure we do not lose sight of it. We are fighting for the liberation of every human being across the face of the globe - it’s gonna take some time.

Real insightful here

How do you suggest we make a national strike happen? Surely if it was so easy to do we would have done it right?

I don’t deny that being a member of this country makes me complicit in much of it’s crimes, but that is also why like half of my waking existence is focused on organizing, agitating, and educating the masses in my area.

I think it’s really funny you think you can assume so much about a person by a silly username they have on Lemmy.

Still waiting for you to post something insightful or valuable. I’ll keep waiting!

I’d to hear your plan. I’m sure it is incredibly well thought out and contends with material conditions most people live under in the country well.

Capital punishment is already cruel and unusual punishment
