Every society is three hot meals away from chaos.
I very much agree. The key part at this moment in time is to craft an appealing narrative that’s at least as palatable as what the right is peddling. What’s happening is that people in the mainstream are increasingly becoming disillusioned with the system, and they’re starting to become open to new ideas as a result. They’re going to start shopping around and settle on a narrative that makes sense to them as an explanation of what’s going on and what needs to be done to make their lives better.
The right has been doing a really good job convincing people of their narrative because a lot of it builds on the existing tropes, small government, more personal freedoms, etc.
The really challenging part for the left at this time is to come up with a narrative that’s easy to digest, that inspires people, and gives them a long term vision for the future. It has to be a long term vision, something people feel that’s worth fighting for, even if there’s no quick reward on the table.
Bernie is the modern day version of Bernstein. Bernie’s emphasis on gradual reform and cooperation with the bourgeoisie is essentially an abandonment of the fight for socialism. Much like Bernstein did in hist time, Bernie prioritizes short-term gains for workers within the capitalist system instead of striving for its overthrow. He built a country wide movement that inspired millions of people, and then he made it all about the election. Once he lost the whole movement just fizzled overnight.
