Thanks for this. I do think there is one very good option for the Left: boycott elections and encourage strikes especially in industries serving the rich.

If we're going to get slaughtered at the polls next November, why even bother? The only thing that can stop the DNC's kakocracy would be a massive and humiliating defeat that would result in the oligarchs redirecting the cash flow that supports Democrat incompetence.

Strikes have the power to change a lot of things very quickly. It's being widely noted that Biden is terrified of shutting the country down to contain the pandemic out of fear that the economy would collapse. A general strike would accomplish that.

What would happen to our cities would be cruel and harrowing, but govt would have to step in or those cities would become unsafe for the rich who despite their castles in New Zealand thrive on high culture and fine dining. Already I think some of the super rich are rethinking the cost of always winning.

It ain't over til it's over.

Agree with your bleak assessment. However, there is even a darker possibility. The US Security State could blunder into a war with Russia, which we would lose leaving a lot of devastation with no functioning govt. This has happened many times before.
