This is a debate that's hard to have because many "leftists" are simply anarchists who want a systematic failure to happen in order to spur the change they think will happen. This is why I have little interest in engaging with them. They aren't arguing in good faith, most are whites who live relatively comfortably, and they would rather have Trump as president than any democrat.
The ironic thing is that a true systemic failure would result in their effete, anti-gun, anti-violence asses getting dominated and placed at the bottom of the pecking order. They want a revolution but won't prepare for it. It's basically a death cult, so why tolerate it or engage it in debate.
straight facts. A lot don’t even try to change the system outside of complaining and/or put in the work to do so.
They vote every 2 years, read twitter and watch YouTube. All the tangible work is done during non election cycles.
