the level of infiltration of the u.s. military by right wing fascists/racists is similar to its infiltration into police forces. significant. so in the civil war scenario, even the military will be fractured.

Fractured between outright fascists/white racists and Joe Biden Democrats out to restore the old Constitutional corporate order doesn't add up to the Armed Forces being fractured in a way that is conducive to a liberatory outcome here.  

The fact that there is no effort to spread aggressive anti-capitalist/class-against-class perspectives among enlisted people in the US Armed Forces -- ignoring the significant role that seditious actions by enlisted people played in the defeat of the US in Vietnam, and the role that this played in every advanced revolutionary movement from the Paris Commune onwards -- is a testament to the fact that there is no such thing as a conscious, aggressive opposition to capitalism in the now-fast-failing United States.  All the spiky-guy stuff at all the demos that will ever happen doesn't change this or make a bit of difference here.  Only people who go to demos notice what goes on at demos.  Don't take my word on this -- observe it for yourself.

The collapse of the United States is fast approaching, and new forms of mass collective self-organization that should already be happening now aren't even beginning to happen.  People like IGD and Crimethinc don't seem to understand this.  It appears to be beyond their levels of analysis and practical organizational skill set to pursue sustained, credible, real world efforts to remedy the problem here.  In a closely related note they do not engage in sustained efforts geared towards mainstream wage-earners who have never gone to a single street protest event in their lives -- sustained collective action where we work, where we live, where we shop, and how we get around: the undramatic and unglamorous terrain of everyday life.  At this point these guys are strictly broadcasting and receiving on the on the all-street-protest, all-the-time channel.
