This and war in Ukraine have made me realize how exactly the holocaust happened. When I was little I was always so confused as to how something so horrible could’ve happened, but history is repeating itself and it’s not so surprising anymore.
What I am still shocked about is how so many people, seemingly good people, become blood thirsty so goddamn fast but it does prove how the holocaust came to be, and the fact that nobody can see how it’s happening again is truly astonishing.

I disagree, I’m not against people moving to AES and most of Europe is a lost cause, but I think we have a shot in winning (indigenous/new Afrikan) socialist territory in the land occupied by the US once the empire falls. I don’t see what good going to AES does, they’re fine without us. As socialists our duty is to fight for socialism in our own country. Of course, if you’re in danger I respect leaving. But how do you expect the world to become socialist if people in non-socialist states don’t fight?

Communism can only be global and it will eventually. Obviously not in my lifetime, but I expect to see a lot of socialist revolutions and progress. Australia, US, and Klanada are largely fucked, but they will be in chaos after the fall of the empire is made obvious to even the apolitical. I think there’s a prospect of a decent bit of landback in North America considering the size of the oppressed nations and increasing radicalization of the youth. Some parts will probably still be fascist strongholds, but all hope is not lost.
Unless most of the world is socialist we have no hope of combating climate change and other environmental crises. If there’s no hope then we are accepting the [near] extinction of humanity, and why live with that. Things are not settled in the future. We must remember to have “pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will” (Gramci), and that “pessimism is an emotion not a philosophy” (immortal technique).
Precisely.
Same, I am an immigrant from a sort of nomadic family granted I came here (the US) at an early age but I just see this nation and other western ones doubling down on imperialism as that’s the only way their economy functions. I.e. Subjugating someone, paying one family that owns a coffee plantation 5 cents a kilogram for coffee produced by slave labor and selling it for 20 bucks here. That’s how they extract value. It’s not by making anything.
They don’t mind seeing swastikas if their proxies have them, they don’t mind islamists if they are their proxies. They will never side with the oppressed.

Yep, even the “leftist” squad (AOC, Bernie, etc) just wants to cheer on imperialism in exchange for healthcare and they forgot to even get that in the end. What a joke.
