Guys I gotta say if the working class of the world doesnt unite our only options will be auth/distopian hellholes
How are they supposed to unite when the working class are kept desparate with low wages and longer hours? They're too exhausted after working 40+ hours/week to inform themselves for any length of time or fight. They would rather relax with TV/movies/games/a book/etc. A general strike is damn near impossible without massive mutual aid networks forming first.
The capitalist class had all of this planned out from the get-go. We need to respond with force (a general strike; I do not condone violence). We need mass solidarity, and we are seeing that build especially after January 20th. We just need to plan well by building mutual aid networks and by directing their anger towards an actual solution. I like to direct people to Richard Wolff and his worker-coop focused idiology.
Only until the biosphere is completely incapable of supporting life, which won't take too long. So we've got that going for us, which is nice
This near term political disaster sure is a nice break from ecocide anxiety.
Good to know Mother Nature's got them if we dont.
