“Our nation’s institutions have been shaken. Our alliances have been strained. Our credibility has been damaged. And our nation’s values have been cast aside,” Hertling said. He suggested the U.S. should look to the reconstruction of Germany after the defeat of Nazism if it hoped to to restore the damage caused by Trump and his allies.
The New Deal did a great job at offering concessions from the system in order to placate the working class, which was building revolutionary momentum, so that the owning class could systematically dismantle the foundations of what allowed that revolutionary effort to take place. Now they have achieved that and are dismantling those concessions.
The law never worked for the people. It is a tool of the owning class to enslave the people to their whims.
The system is inherently oppressive and must be replaced. It is not the “best we could hope for”. Fuck off with that capitalist realism bullshit. Replacing it would be leagues better than floundering at trying to reform it out of its fundamental function: reinforcing the power of owning class hierarchy over the people and the land.
We either replace the system with something fundamentally different or forever be consigned to repeat this cycle of oppression.
You’re only argument against doing so is hyperbolic fearmongering of the unknown. Saying that if we do something different it would just be worse. That’s entirely conjecture. It has just as much possibility to become even better. You give up before you even try and consign yourself to a life of oppression under a system that only exists to exploit you.
You clearly don’t understand the situation, a common affliction but it makes speaking to you civiliy rather impossible.
Right back at you.
