I bet he is thinking about communism again. How are the proletariat ever going to triumph when we have neither peasants for a Maoist revolution nor any notion of class and languish in the after-effects of the Cold War? Our boomers go full Bilbo when he talks about the ring. None of the parties are even susceptible to pressure from the left and the prospect of developing a radical revolutionary project in the US seems like a sad fantasy at times. No one reads theory, everyone except me is a liberal, all my friends are tankies, but I'm the tankiest tankie. I will make Stalin look like an anarchist when I come to power. The streets will be flooded with kulak blood and I will ride a surf board down Pennsylvania avenue as the gutters overflow with the blood of our nation's life blood. There will not be a single landlord left in the US and we will not allow rentierism to reassert itself and the workers will tear down the imperial military hegemon with great vigor, rejoicing at its crumbling. The militaries and police will be disbanded and the war crimes of every living capitalist stooge of violence recorded in a new neuremberg trial so that capital crimes are never allowed again. We will then work withe the other global socialist international governments to make communism global and deliver humanity to a place where there will be no apocalypse of climate and financial eradication.
