At this point they’re actively hostile to all American Institutions that keeps them in check and are also actively hostile to the population itself. Trump’s previous Term was comparatively tame and even if he won in 2020 it would’ve been tamer than this. This is pretty much war being waged against the working class by the rich.

Do these people believe that they’ll be able to assert total control of all government institutions by 2028? Or is it some form of fascist self destruction ritual? Because right now even the chuds are having second thoughts about their party.

    The PMC are more akin to cops. Their wage is earned through facilitating capitalist governance/violence. A social services worker doesn’t produce a marketable commodity or value for capitalists the same way a waiter or factory worker do—instead they play a role as a relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism.

      instead they play a role as a relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism.

      You should let the capitalists know this then because what you’re describing does not decribe the system, how capitalists behave or how capitalist governments define policy. If one plays a role as a ‘relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism’, then under capitalism their labour is both desirable and subject to market forces. Capitalist governments absolutely do treat public work as a marketable commodity. No resources are allocated without a calculus behind it, or behind the intent of devaluing the labor as much as is possible.

      And, again, being a proletarian is a social class in respects to ownership of the means of production. That’s it. Any more splitting of hairs and soon enough you’ll be claiming that the soup kitchen worker is a PMC akin to cops.
