The billionaire class wants a class war against the worker class so they can further shift wealth and power to themselves, but they certainly aren’t going to fight it themselves, and they can’t have a proxy class-war without two sides to fight it.
The only way to get two sides is to vilify the less-gullible side by duping the more-gullible side into fighting members of their own class on their behalf.
MAGA rubes are being manipulated into turning against their neighbors. And maybe the left are being manipulated too, maybe I’m too far left to see it.
The left definitely do have a problem with infighting. We can’t even agree on the right way to go about unfucking things. Between accelerationists, revolutionaries and people who still hope for peaceful solutions, between tankies and non-authoritarians, between hardliners and diplomats…
You’d think we could all agree to focus on our common enemy, but whenever anyone suggests a course of action, the discussion quickly becomes laden with epithets and accusations of being a capitalist pawn in some way or other.
Hell, I fully expect someone to misconstrue this very comment as an attempt to undermine leftist goals in some way.

I’m disgusted with lemmy, and the fact revisionist scum like you are allowed here. You are the reason we can’t get anything done.
Revisionist! That’s the word I was trying to think of earlier. Thank you for your contribution <3
Nice
