Ideological infighting between bourgeoisie factions. The Civil War never ended, it simply entered a cold state after the assassination of Lincoln and with him the assassination of reconstruction. Andrew Johnson’s alliance with southern capital meant none of the financial stake holders we’re held accountable and land was never redistributed to the free slaves.
So the slaves of the south were emancipated into the open arms of the southern capitalist who replaced chattel slavery with wage slavery.
The emancipation process never ended, and the reimplementation of slavery also never ended. Over the decades new factions have risen and been incorporated into the struggle, mainly Evangelicals, since they represent such a large base for the conservative axis. Their incorporation has caused the development of the conservative solutions for the issue of labor reproduction, namely in the antiabortion movement.
With conservative victories over the last 20 years, they have positioned themselves ever closer to winning this cold war. This has been a war of ideology, attempting to solve the contradictions of capitalism from different positions. The problem progressives have however is that appropriating leftist positions doesn’t solve the issues of capitalism, it erodes capitalism. Their dabbling in populism has given the electorate a taste for it. When progressives fail to deliver on their populism however, it weakens their voting base, solves none of the issues of capitalism, and requires them to lean right for real solutions.
This fragmented position leaves the collective bourgeois unable to deal with external conflict. Their handling of Ukraine and Israel can be viewed as an extension of this internal conflict.
At some point one of these positions within the ruling class has to win out over the other. Resulting in either Christian Fascism, or a kind of “National Socialism” rooted in a more traditional form of Fascism.
