Waiting for the perfect confluence of factors and the right mix of judges to hear a case... none of this is acceptable anymore.

Civil rights, patched into the system, do not work. And while direct action is a forcing function for that process, it is extreme.

We also can't expect direct action to fix everything. No one marching on DC for trans rights.

My anarchist ideals are not that structurelessness is a perfect forever solution, but that the existing model is unfixable & needs refactor

Asking sincerely: what form of political organization is better than liberal democracy at delivering civil rights?

Meh, I'm one of those old fuddy-duddies who still likes the idea of liberal democracy and antifa don't scare me. The others do...

I think it's important to keep straight which parts are the fault of liberal democracy in general, and which problems are America specific.
-
Don't let perfect be enemy of good in struggle against fascism. Liberal democracy is good, but very imperfect, especially American system.
-
All of society is patched together, all the way back to Babylon. It's messy and frustratingly slow to change, but it's the best we've got.
-
I just object to the notion that liberal democracy (or capitalism) is the best we'll ever be able to achieve in human history.
-
Oh I don't to think that either. But no good would come from burning it all down. If there is a better model, we can get there from here.

Failure? Maybe not anywhere near perfect but last 50 years has been seen biggest shift in positive human rights/Civ Lin because of Lib Dem
-
This is why liberals fail to win elections. We let the perfect be the enemy of the good, constantly.
