yeah this may be the last shot we are going to have to take with and roll with the synthesis that results from it, doing our best to direct it. there may be no vanguard party, or there may be dozens of small ones. libertarian socialism may take root in the ruins of a collapsed lawless nation. left populism may spring up everywhere, both voted in and through coups or revolts. fascism may have already run it’s course when this goes down, in a sort of inverse of the typical immune reaction.

in fact, WE may end up being the immune reaction but of human survival not capitalist preservation

there won’t be any time to argue about what works besides some unity of action and taking advantage of the moment (but i dunno)

Marx didn’t predict the collapse of the biosphere he was projecting the Victorian age assumption that there would be millennia of stable human civilization and resource extraction ahead
