    If you take a look at history, you’ll notice a pattern:

    1. civilization/empire/society/whatever X begins forming
    2. X is at it’s peak, it’s situation is pretty stable and prosperous
    3. event Y starts
    4. as a result, X’s situation begins to worsen
    5. X has fallen completely, it’s previous members now struggle with disease, famine, and political instability
    6. whoever survives begins to form a new civilization/empire/society/whatever
    7. repeat

    And honestly, I don’t think that the left at it’s current state is anywhere near strong, large, or unified enough to be the one to rise from the ashes. It’s better to do what we can now, and save the revolution for when we are able to actually succeed at it.

    We’ll burn down capitalism one piece at a time.
