Because the "ruling class" isn't a united faction and the GOP establishment has been increasingly captured by the insane true believer base that thinks even their most tepid opponents are literal communists.

The whole controlled opposition thing is how the system used to work but now it's breaking down and while the Democratic side of it is still functioning as intended the Republican side of it has turned into a howling mob of death cult fascists that want autocracy.

yeah, I work with a few of these nutters who genuinely believe a lifelong capitalist ghoul like Biden (Mr. Credit Card!) wants to usher in “Red America,” as they eloquently put it. But I live in the South so that’s normal thinking in this humid shithole. The amount of dirt poor Christian lumpenproles here is nauseating.

Chris Hedges talks are so depressing to listen to. You can tell from the tone of his voice alone that everything he is saying is true and nothing will be done to prevent it.

My favorite response Chris hedges gives to his critics about the bleakness of his work is “I’m not making any of this up.”

I talked a lot about the pending legitimacy crisis back during the Floyd riots (specifically, see that time the mayor of NYC politely asked the NYPD to please not trample people to death with their horses and in response the NYPD kidnapped his daughter) but man, I'm honestly a little shocked at how completely useless every institution and every government agency has become in this country. I shouldn't be shocked, but I am.

Does the government do anything anymore aside from feed tax money to arms manufacturers and kill people of color?

Edit: I just realized I'm literally a civil servant and I'm not sure if the government does anything. I know my job primarily consists of seeing court cases get rescheduled over and over forever

Covid revealed America only has financial power and no government left lol

chris hedges says he thinks marx has the best critique of capital but he doesnt consider himself a marxist or a communist because he doesnt agree with marx's solutions. instead, chris thinks that the only way for the left to win is for an organized labor movement to lead to a political movement outside the electoral system that makes the ruling elite literally cower in fear, but he also thinks that the call to action should be done primarily by appealing to people's sense of morality (lol)

something like that anyway. thats what ive synthesized from several different interviews ive seen with him

Yeah Hedges correctly identifies the problems with capitalism and the mindless evil it produces but then he really thinks nonviolence mass protest is the solution lol. Whether he really believes that or is just saying it to avoid getting whacked by an alphabet agency is up in the air

I also dont like how hedges uses religious “morality” to identify the evils of capitalism because fascists and reactionaries have a history of doing that and we know how that typically ends

His articles and books trashing democrats are still good though
