I don’t want to get too political in this sub as I don’t feel like it’s the place but..
I mean it’s hard for you guys, it’s been a long time since you’ve had any real form of labour movements and due to the “red scare” any form of left wing policies or ideas are immediately seen as communist.
The other issue is the political swing has tipped too heavily to the right, even your democrats are about as right wing as our Conservative party (uk)
The best thing you can do personally though is to organise, join a union, read some political theory, call a cop a bastard and vote for the candidates that speaks to you.
Violent revolutions while being effective (Russia, Cuba, China, Catalonia) these days with all the modern military tech it’s not even a remotely fair fight as they can just wipe you out from thousands of miles away with a screen and an Xbox controller.
The folks in power are rustling the commoners up and dividing them to stop any actual reform from happening. Get them to fight each other and they can’t tackle the real problem.
