I mean capitalism is literally enabling the fossil fuel industry to continue to ramp up production, while we are heading into a climate apocalypse. It’s too late for steps.
Ah, yes, incremental change and playing within the rules set by our oppressors, that’s worked so well …checks notes… never.
Lulling the population in to a false sense of security, but more importantly - comfort, is exactly how you not only maintain the status quo, but how you enable fascism.
But sure, to those who are privileged enough not to already be personally impacted, I’m sure voting for team blue feels like a real win… 🙄

“We can’t have a revolution against capitalism until after we address all the symptoms of capitalism individually!”
No need to strawman; you already made a good point in the first half of your comment.
No I promise whoever says that definitely fits my description of them. It’s not a strawman, it just looks like one because you assume I’m pretending to quote somebody I’m not.
Not necessarilly. They could very easilly be a victim of propaganda; they don’t have to be a benefactor of capitalism in order to believe in incrementalism (which keeps capitalism as the main economic force).
Neoliberalism drilled deep into American consciousness a while ago.
