Build dual power. The state will persist until capitalism inevitably destroys itself and the state that props it up.

We must have strong and well-networked communities that can survive and thrive when that happens.

In the meantime, it's easier to have a liberal squishy government in power than a fascist one. The libs will attempt to placate and pander to us with little concessions here and there.

That's better than fascists who will do as much as possible to crush us into oblivion and suppress any rumblings that sound even slightly left-wing.

Both parties are statist and against any true vision of socialist structures, but don't pretend the republicans and dems are equally bad. Dems are bad, but the right-wingers are Satan. I'd much rather fight the mini-boss than the main boss if I had the choice.
