    You realize the parties of capital don’t give a fuck about what working class people say right?

    Change in the imperial core has always come through massive violent protests with people like MLK; liberal “democracies” are only a democracy for the capitalist class.

      Yes I know parties of capital don’t care but not all of the ruling class belongs to the parties of capital. i.e. Bernie Sanders

      I however disagree on the requirement for violent protest. MLK himself was a peaceful protest proponent. Adamant but peaceful. Not to mention all the bloodless revolutions that came out of the fall of the Soviet Union. Or the peaceful revolutions in Portugal in the 70’s or the Philippines in the 80’s. That’s just the last 50 years.

      The problem we face now is we have a much more apathetic populace than those in the past. Not sure what it will take to light the fire. That’s why I brought up a third party or ranked choice as a stop gap to real change.

        MLK was a bit deeper than the “American Ghandi” they teach in school. He was in favor of a lot, just not the outright rioting. He also however wrote about understanding why the riots happened. He just didn’t consider them to be productive.
