Revolution Is Now
• Caitlin Johnstone - SubstackPeople are always asking me what we can do to fight the tyranny and depravity of the empire and create a healthy world.
"But what can we do?" they ask. "You always talk about the problems, but we need solutions! How do we solve the problems you keep pointing to?"
It's especially common during US election season, because I tend to spend a lot of time pointing to the fraudulent nature of western electoral politics and saying Americans will never be able to vote their way out of their problems.
Which is of course fair. If I'm saying "Not that way, it's a dead end," it's only fair that I should be asked which way actually leads to the exit.
Trouble is I talk about solutions all the time here, and I'm always practicing what I preach and leading by example; some people just can't seem to hear what I'm saying. It goes in one ear and out the other, because I don't have any solutions that are as easy and immediate as "Cast your vote for Donald Trump, he'll fight the Deep State" or "Cast your vote for Kamala Harris, she'll stop fascism."
