While i do agree somewhat, it was Biden and Harris’ choice not to pivot on Gaza and not do economic populist messaging. This site had no power to influence the election.
They sent Bill Clinton and Josh Shapiro to Michigan to talk about “Judea and Samaria”. Every half decent messaging like calling Republicans weird or price controls were immediately abandoned.
I am well aware of all that. I was pushing back against an increasingly prevalent idea that Trump, or the crumbling state of the empire, would be good for the left.
Not if you don’t even have an organized left in America.
We’ll see how the left organizes as ICE is openly kidnapping, torturing and deporting minorities under broad daylight.
We’ll see how the left is going to organize as trans people are increasingly stripped of their rights and face open persecution by fascist thugs.
We’ll see if this accelerationism is truly beneficial to the left.
As I said to another user here, if your plan to rally people to your cause relies on minorities paying the price, then perhaps there is a serious problem here.
Not to rehash the points already made about accelerationism. What would an ideal scenario look like for left organizing, given what’s been said? It seems that the best case is a false threat, something that radicalizes liberals to the left while not actually being that detrimental. A political vaccine. One could argue that Trump is that, an incompetent fascist who despite being actually destructive sometimes, mostly does things for show. The net effect being a political awakening for certain liberals who would have never got there under the incremental escalation that Biden maintained.
