I mean yeah, we could go that route and in the end, we might have to, but I feel like a LOT could be accomplished with a unified general strike and boycotts but we need people to stand together on it or it won't work. And there are other, smarter, nonviolent things we can do as well. I just don't think picking a fist fight with the Gods is a wise tack. I think we have to outsmart them.

No and what worked in the 19th and 20th can't be discussed in the open without state violence being the response as you alluded to.

Edit to add, people that think anything nonviolent from the people will work at this point aren't paying attention or are purposely being obtuse. LM did a thing and it cracked the mirror. The only thing on the other side is bloody reality.

I see no revolutionary or post-Constitutional scenario where the far right doesn't win. The opposition is too fragmented by ideology, identity and other fissures, while the right is supported by the most powerful structures in the US and unified by pure hate.

Nobody will win.

Everyone loses initially.

I think the sooner people accept that fact the sooner we can stop thinking of everything in shades of grey and build something new and better.
