A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.
This is obviously a joke, but it’s a good time for a reminder that the state of California is the 4th largest economy in the world with over $4 trillion in GDP. Thinking of the US as a set of 50 equally important (economically and socially) chunks is not a good strategy. Unless we go with the mlm3w “Western whites can’t do anything so just sit back” approach, we will have to focus our work on parts that matter the most materially.
Commiefornia is a long shot, considering that they just voted to preserve state slavery, but it’s a much more realistic threat to global capitalism than a socialist US.
