This is a false dichotomy. You have to have a viable counter structure already built otherwise you are just making shit worse and hoping fascists don’t take over.
Letting shit just collapse on purpose also will just foster resentment in like 2/3rds of the population toward people who let it happen or encouraged it to happen. Which seems to be MLs and leftwing foreign policy activists, at least here on Lemmy. I’m not going to join hands with someone that played an active or passive role in potentially ruining my life and my loved one’s lives even if they’re ideologically very similar otherwise.
Spite becomes more powerful than a desire for positive change in large groups of angry people.
