Yes it does
Very much so

I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt until he bombed Syria. That's when my political worldview collapsed and I knew there was no hope in a political system, anywhere. The whole thing has to collapse now. Only young idealistic types can't see that now.

why was the lil bombing in syria the straw that broke the camels back
i feel like he's done worse
I wanted to wait and see if we really was a protectionist, 'America First', build the wall and stop intervening overseas. This event cemented to me the fact it was all a lie. I really wanted it to be genuine though.

@not_matt Even in Ancient Athens, the slaves could not vote. Democracy depends on have a competent electorate.
so let people control themselves on an intimate level
control one's own workplace. own neighborhood. own town. etc
@not_matt I just don't think the average person is ready for that. Not without class consciousness and theoretical education.
true
that's why we need to win comrade
