    For a bunch of decades, they haven’t been executed on the streets in broad daylight. How is it going now?

      The problem with your logic though is you think it just started one day. We’ve been on this road for a while. Trump doesn’t exist without Bill Clinton’s deregulation spree. Donald Trump wouldn’t nearly be this powerful without Obama’s expansion of the surveillance state. Neoliberals have contributed to what we’re seeing right now and it’s important not to forget that. During the Bush Administration all the neoliberals voted for the Patriot Act which basically created everything that’s killing people in the street right now.

      Pretty fucking poorly, which is why I’m not crazy about the strategy we’ve been using for the past decades. You understand these events didn’t just happen out of nowhere, right? They’re a result of the things that happened before them.
