What do you think it would take to be a revolutionary in the US today and is anybody on their way there?
Honestly I am not focused on revolution within the US at the moment. Before that is possible we will need revolutions in the imperial periphery that make our empire weak enough to tackle. I have not the slightest clue what it would take to be a revolutionary in the sense that Che was within the US and I don't think its up to individuals to figure that out. Leaving it to the individual is begging for adventurism. Hell, Che would say America is not ready for an urban Guerrila movement yet anyway. He'd say too many people still trust the electoral system and he'd be damn right. America does not yet have a revolutionary vanguard party so I wouldn't say anyone is close to being revolutionaries yet. PSL shows promise but they are limited by essentially just being a protest org right now. They also do some education and work with some labor unions but it isn't all there imo.
Yeah most of the US is totally bought into the two party system. The government would have to really fuck everybody in order for people to band together to revolt.
