it happened with the antitrust act, it happened with the New Deal, and it happened in the 1960s with the Civil Rights era and the end to Vietnam

The thing that ties all of these exceptions together is the immediate threat of ideologically organized revolutionary cadres mobilizing the masses into a socialist revolution

yeah exactly. when the system is about to blow up, they turn a valve and release a little steam

that’s one of two paths we are headed towards today. the pressure is building up. we either need to turn the valve soon OR we’re gonna blow up

i have a feeling though we’re headed for the explosion route

  You’re mistaken. The release valve of elections is a hedge against this kind of thing happening in the first place.
  
  Those movements were resolved by murdering their leaders and imprisoning their organizers for several decades.
