We are at war. You can pretend we can be one country again, but we can't.

128. I'll repeat. Fascism is NEVER an option.........

Because fascism doesn't advance the working class, it advances the owners. And even trends towards fascism don't advance the working class and should be fought, albeit with different methods than a fight against true fascism.

We actually agree with what you said in the body of your post. I'm sure the difference is that you think that the capitalists will, one way or another, back off and throw a few more crumbs our way. I don't. I think they can't stop the drive for neo-feudalism even if they want to. It's inherent in the system itself. Which means that, like it or not and I don't particularly like it, the clash is inevitable at some point. Probably when people stop getting paid or paid as much as they've been being paid. That will make it hit ALL individually and leave NO doubt as to where we're headed.

No, we're not there yet. But it's coming.
