Today eighty percent of people in the US live paycheck to paycheck. There are more units of unoccupied housing than there are homeless individuals. The richest three exploiters -- Bezos, Gates and Buffett -- own more wealth than the bottom fifty percent of the populace. The US leads the industrialized world in levels of police violence against civilians -- and, better, in the level of mass abstention from participation in electoral politics. The US maintains a permanent extremely expensive military occupation of much of the planet in a context of being mired in wars it can't win or walk away from. The current figurehead of the political apparatus is a Grade-Z toxic buffoon placed at the front of the stage by history's Central Casting Department in the role of Citizen Capet or Nicholas Romanov -- with the Democruds getting all revved up to lose to him once again. And the left-wing of the 20th century's counter-revolution, Marxism-Leninism, Trotskyism and Third World nationalism are no longer around to gum up the works.

And in this now potentially rich land of mass revolutionary opportunity among wage-earners and enlisted people, what do we find in what gets called anarchism in today's U.S? Pablum for prepubescents about "cis" something and "imperialist, colonial capitalism." Where's my plastic bucket and shovel and my toy dump truck. Can someone bib me and burp me?
