If you're a Marxist, you pretty much want trump to stay in power (lemm.ee)

This guy is actually destroying the capital. Ruining the richest men on earth. He should stay in place, and unhinged longer and longer.

When he will crash the stock market enough, and manage to do what no revolution ever did, then the workers will have enough power to seize the mean of production, since the stocks will be so cheap, and the former billionaire on their knee without their imaginary wallstreet wealth.

I suppose there are some downside I have a blind-spot on, but for now trump seems to be the best anti-capitalist tool there ever was.

What are some tankies thinking?

I don't consider myself a Marxist so I could be wrong, but Marxists would not be a group I would suspect of wanting a haphazard, poorly planned collapse at the hands of a neo-Nazi party. They seem pretty interested in longterm planning and statecraft.

That said, I welcome anyone to join me in celebrating any harm that comes to the US as a nation.

This is kinda my point. trump is doing more to tank the capitalist US society than anyone has done so far

I understand your point, but a neoliberal economy tanking itself by descending into fascism doesn't really seem to align with my understanding of Marxist theory. Again, someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
