aren't you tired
of holding up
their world?

When we say "end-stage" capitalism, we mean that at this point it's gotten so bad that even the meager protections we could sometimes win through of its machinations are no longer going to be viable, and things are going to get worse rapidly without even the cosmetic semblance of improvement.
This means that NO mechanism of the state has any use left for us. The mask is off, and it's not going back on. Even a massive voting surge for some third party candidate or other (which they'd OBVIOUSLY never let happen) would just put someone different in charge of the same death machine.
All real solutions remaining to us all involve upending & supplanting the system. Massive refusal to work, building parallel, alternative ways to meet needs, etc. As I often say, the reason the Panthers were threat #1 bc in a very short period of time (like 2 years!) they obviated existing systems.
People hear things like this and immediately start saying why it won't work. But the thing big change moves on most is timing. Right now, we are at the point where the cruelty has become too great & the people's needs are unmet to the right degree with no plan for the vulture class to do anything but take more, so change is inevitable.
Be ready.
