“Trump is coming. Think of him as you will, I always saw him and still see him as a destroyer of America.” Andrey Sidorov, deputy dean of world politics at Moscow State University said on Russian state TV
When you look it at like this, oooh that’s why some leftists basiclly seem to be trying to get trump elected. Not “force the democrats to reform” but to destroy evil Neoliberal America.
While I understand the logic to wanting to destroy neoliberal America, there is absolutely no guarantee that what will replace it is something more progressive. I agree that neoliberalism isn’t optimal and there are many contradictions that result in exploitation, but I rather have that than fascism.
The most likely candidate to replace neoliberalism in the US if the status quo changes seems to clearly be fascism.

I agree with Andrey Sidorov. Did not see myself writing that sentence when I woke up this morning.
