Alright guys, this is something I've been thinking about for too long now. Inb4 vanned, go away FBI, etc. Give me your actual critique.
It seems very clear that the revolutionary movement in the US is currently both at a very important point with the American empire weakening even as it threatens to engage in military imperialism once again, but also at a bit of a loss as how to counter this or build our own setup. From this, I'm going to suggest a route for the hardline, serious left in the US to take serious action that directly hampers imperialist actions across the globe.
First, I am going to make the general statement that the development of anti-imperialist global forces is more important than that of maintaining parts of the US, both in terms of people and in terms of what material is recoverable by socialists In The Future.
Second, we are going to have to look at a very simple fact: The government forces that be are currently just not threatened by widespread mas movement as they worry about smaller individual acts. It would be very convenient if the US government was prone to being attacked by an organized mass movement, but they have a lot of resources and broad movements like attempting a vanguard are flat out more prone to infiltration and direct combatting than smaller groups.
As such, I am going to propose that we begin work against the US government for the sake of boosting anti-imperialism efforts in the form of small, loosely organized, decentralized groups that do significant damage to specific important targets across the nation for the sake of damaging the country's capacity to perform imperial actions. And we do this not by attacking the fist of the military but by going for the heart that powers it all.
In this manner, I propose sabotaging American infrastructure in the form of power (electricity especially), transportation, and communications. Insurgent groups can very, very easily get large quantities of thermite from the reclamation of literally scrap aluminum and iron rust, literal garbage that litters every single road in the entirety of the US, refined slightly, ground to powder, and packaged. Put into sacks to be used and given a brief spraypainting to hide them on deployment. We then hit vital points of infrastructure along areas of major industrial production, noting the primary areas that fuel the MIC such as metals, chemicals, some heavy industrial areas, but also minor important industries that feed other industries such as the production of simple things like cardboard or wooden pallets that get used for shipping.
From there, we can target railroad lines, bridges, power pylons, transformers, communication tower guy wires, you name it, anything that would knock out production in the area and take significant time to repair; the further it is from any kind of road to prevent access by repair crew, the better, it means it'll take longer to knock it out. Usefully, this only requires a few dedicated, interested people per strike, and the actual destructive charges can be set with modern digital timers in weatherproof, camouflaged bags to go off months in advance for the sake of leaving or to create a wider spread attack. This is on top of the fact that the US economy is currently struggling just to make it past the damages from 2018 without collapsing in on itself again.
I do not propose that this is the insurrectionary path to revolution
I am proposing that this can be used to soften up the US government's hedgemony on power by disruption of production and economy on a national scale to allow for other anti-imperialist powers to catch a break while the US reels to give ourselves even a bit of breathing room against the dying empire so that we can hope to start making victories again in the future.
