The pandemic & the war have accelerated U.S. imperialism’s self-consumption, bringing revolution closer

The pandemic exposed the weaknesses that had been growing within our social order for decades up to when Covid-19 made America its biggest victim. Prior to then, the military had long been draining public service funds. Our healthcare system had long been thoroughly privatized, and therefore left vulnerable to a public health emergency. Corporations had long been hollowing out the people’s wealth. The climate crisis had long been allowed to damage our declining infrastructure unchecked. When the pandemic came, it showed just how huge the human costs of these destructive late capitalist policies would be. Over a million died, several million more were rendered disabled, and a large amount of the working class fell through the economy’s cracks, which were made far wider. And the pandemic still isn’t truly over, as several hundred continue to die each day.
