    There are several leftist groups that have really ramped up their organizing. The PSL is explicitly building a Marxist vanguard party, the DSA has seen dramatic membership increases, and more.

    A successful revolution doesn’t need a majority of the population to support it if the organization and strategy is there.

        That’s why they’re focusing on organization right now, to build up the power to lead a revolution. Obviously there is no successful revolution right now, it needs to be built.

      dramatic membership increases

      That is a few 1000’s.

      There simply isn’t enough left-wing.
      And if they did try something the Blue MAGATS would rather fight them than the fascists.
      I’m sure there are a lot more clueless people feeling ‘radicalised’ and think they’re going hardcore by following Bernie the Sheepdog or AOC.

      I feel sorry for the few percent worth saving but pragmatically I’m glad it came to this.
      It’s accelerating the inevitable decline of US power and the Blue MAGA get a taste of what they do to the rest of the world constantly.

        Well if you want to resign yourself to pessimism that’s your prerogative, but don’t kid yourself that you’re any different from the whining American leftists you’re complaining about.

          That’s realism.
          And I’m not whining, I love to see that country go down faster under Trump.
          There are a handfull of people worth saving, 97% or red or blue MAGAts.
