My god, even the best chance for socialism is hopeless because of the dollar. “it’s not doomer because the party could do something different” idgaf day after day it’s more dollars and less long term hope. Nothing China does can matter because all the green energy, all the bnr, all the poverty elimination, all of it is paid for with imperial currency and little to no interest in changing this arrangement from within. The party will talk about win-win arrangements and mutually-beneficial cooperation until the fucking nukes are flying.

    You’re not helping the doomer, comrade. Everyone is a lib, and there’s not a Stalin in sight. So imperial core residents just wait until the planet cooks us alive, maybe doing some charity work for migrants and people on the streets with a red flag in the mean time. Fantastic

      Ok disregard, i was just joking.

      Here’s what’s gonna happen: Trump is going to screw up the political system so bad that socialists will finally have a chance of grabbing power (by sheer accident), which allows revolutionary defeatism to take root in America. The capitalists are finally expropriated, and America reestablished diplomacy with China. China learned that liberals cannot be trusted and finally purged them. Russia saw the wind of history is changing and decided that their right wing nationalism would not fare well in this new multipolar order, and looked into their past to seek lessons from the Soviet Union.

      This brings prosperity to the Global Majority, and all of this because a nerd missed his shot on Donald Trump by an inch. Some said the God of Wind had decided the fate of humanity that day.

        Ok man. I understand it’s about being correct, but there’s a reason I made a separate post to vent rather than replying to you directly like I actually think good things can happen
