I think there's a certain degree of desperation about it, when we're talking about what's being said and done about it in good faith by regular folks (as opposed to CIA meddling and the like). Whether with PSL or with the military.
To try to explain what I mean, imagine if the conclusion, upon careful investigation, is that the US military is mainly imperialist loyalists and that PSL is largely useless for getting anywhere. This would imply, based on my understanding of the current crop of parties in the US: 1) There isn't really anybody visibly leading the charge from within who is capable of meeting the moment and 2) The military is going to be a major obstacle from within, unless it breaks itself in imperialist wars.
If this is actually the case, better to know that than to believe in falsehoods. But it's also a grim outlook for those of us who were born in the US and would have a hard time going elsewhere.
I hope that makes sense.
Yes you're perfectly clear, thank you. It will be very difficult to convince these people to fight for the abolition of their own class. That shouldn't mean walking on eggshells around them just because they consider their popularity among liberals enough to make them an authority.
