First bit is what has actually happened. Second bit isn’t “an analysis” and your last paragraph would have Voltare rolling, but also isn’t relevant. Out of morbid curiosity, I’d love to hear your fantasy world path forward for the country.
It benefits the DNC and GOP to let minor implementations of a toothless change pass so that people feel like they are making a differance.
Second bit is absolutely analysis, you claimed fascism happens if the fascists get elected. Where did the fascists come from, and why would they get elected?
As for a path forward, I’m a Communist, revolution is necessary. Join an org like FRSO or PSL.
Communism isn’t about picking a model and copying it, that idea was abandoned in the 1800s. Engels wrote an entire essay on it, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. We can look to AES states and see where they found success and failure, but no AES state thus far has come from anything comparable to the 2024 US Empire’s unique material conditions and productive structures, so obviously we can’t copy any one country one to one, nor would we want to.
