haha I like your motivation pep talk, you’re a great writer
dw I do have hope in the East, I just took OP’s post “it ain’t gonna happen …” to mean revolution in the USA/West, in which case I will resolutely be a doomer unless somebody can show me analysis that says otherwise
You mentioned the wonders of the internet but in the entire world except few exceptions like China and DPRK, it’s a huge advantage to the ruling class because they control it
You can try to spread ideas as an influencer but you’ll get censored and banned (gzd lmao). You can try to spread messages as a group but you’ll be drowned out by liberals that are backed by hoards of bots and foreign workers
You can try to organize but all your communications will be read and all your movements tracked. You get 1 foot over the red line and you’ll be assassinated or disappeared like the BLM founders at Ferguson and there’s nothing you can do to stop it
Capitalist poisoning permeates through every single faucet of entertainment online, to the point where even a very large percentage of Vietnamese people (and possibly a majority of youths) love the USA despite the CPV controlling the media because of their cultural hegemony over the internet
You may be talking to me over thousands of miles thanks to the internet but you’re also talking to the NSA, ClA, FBl, and dozens of algorithms designed by teams of PhDs
I agree with a lot of what you say, and yes I am not exactly thrilled with the state of affairs here in the US/West.
Now this might be less based in fact and more wishful thinking on my part, but I would like to think as the rest of the world breaks free from American imperialism and a new communist wave begins to cover the globe, that the new powers will help us here in the crumbling imperialist empires. China as an example spent many decades with a policy of non-interventionism regarding Western fuckery and nascent leftist movements, but they seem to be shifting towards Western confrontation and helping many leftist revolutionaries and states recently IMO. I do not think it is too crazy to think that as the West dies, barely able to do much but flagellate its own civilians, that China etc. might show up and try to help by stamping out the capitalist hegemony and all the roving fascist paramilitaries, supplying aid, weapons and training to communist forces in the area. Like what America does today but in reverse. We could be left to flounder and die with a whimper but I think the compassion and humanity of rising communists such as the Chinese has been well-illustrated. They might very well be the deus ex machina that saves many of us from a very dark fate here in the West, particularly in America.
yea I’ve considered that too but I wonder how well the general population would take that
because to have a successful revolution you would need the people on your side because even if China helps communists take control of the country, the people are just gonna rise up against you if they don’t support you
and it seems unlikely to un-brainwash the populace enough to do that, especially if China is backing the communists (are libs gonna listen to and trust literal CPC backed rebel groups? probably not)
