We need to plan and strategize not only for the threat of an impending coup attempt, but also for the very grave and real threat a Biden presidency will pose to revolutionary abolitionist projects everywhere.
We have, thus far, been organizing against State Counterinsurgent forces that have been incongruent, internally conflicted, inconsistent, and, frankly, strategically clumsy under the Trump administration. They have been brutal, but not nearly as effective as they could be.
Forces under the Trump administration are fractured. They have alienated their intelligence community, military figures, many State governments, and swaths of private capital. Effective counterinsurgency campaigns require cohesion between all of these factions.
A Biden administration simply will not have the same issues. We need only to look at how effective the counterinsurgency operations against the Occupy movement during Obama's presidency to realize that. And Biden has already promised us this repeatedly through his campaign.
That doesn't mean that a successful coup would be better for us, it certainly would not be, but we need to have an understanding that a Biden presidency is not a victory for us either. And, unlike under Trump, many of the liberals currently in the struggle will happily go home.
There will be an intense political crackdown on revolutionaries everywhere UNLESS we maintain our momentum. Unless we make sure to keep ourselves, our friends, family, community members accountable to fighting for something more than the status quo.
