I’m not here to refute anything personally. I am not disputing the idea that Americans aren’t living in conditions that would make them as revolutionary as people in Algeria during the French occupation.
As for what Americans should do? Uh, gee maybe rally behind a principally anti-imperialist third party that doesn’t focus exclusively on entryism. Despite my criticism of the PSL, it at least contests elections as an actual party instead of being a glorified caucus for the democrats in the way the DSA is. Either that, or Americans would have to loose a sufficient level of economic advantage before even considering alternatives.
that’s what I was referring to when I said it doesn’t refute what I said. You seemed to be saying that what I said was not a worthwhile view.

I would think most on here are already in agreement on that. That the soc dem imperialist stuff does not move the needle anywhere (or, not anywhere good). The how is more what I’m asking about. I don’t expect you to have the answers, but it is a real problem to solve, not a magic fix.
