50. Obviously, it was a hypothetical.

But supposing it wasn’t, do you think there would be a flotilla to blockade it from happening? Do you think workers would refuse to do it?

I don’t think there would be any way to stop it.

In the grand scheme of things, the policies being presented and passed are far worse than taking down a statue and no one is doing a fucking thing about it. There’s no popular uprising, there aren’t any strikes, there’s nothing. We’re just letting it happen and shaking our fists, believing that somehow elections are going to save us.

Direct action is needed and there’s no one to do it.
