A boot is crushing the neck of American democracy | George Floyd | The Guardian

“The fundamental question at this moment is: can this failed social
experiment be reformed? The political duopoly of an escalating
neofascist Donald Trump-led Republican party and a fatigued Joe Biden-led neoliberal Democratic party – in no way equivalent, yet both
beholden to Wall Street and the Pentagon – are symptoms of a decadent leadership class. The weakness of the labor movement and the present difficulty of the radical left to unite around a nonviolent revolutionary project of democratic sharing and redistribution of power,
wealth and respect are signs of a society unable to regenerate the best of its past and present. ”
