u/JITTERdUdE - originally from r/GenZhou
Something that’s been in my mind recently. Shit looks like it’s going to hit the fan over the next several years. Seeing how easily the population has slipped into a Russophobic rage through disinformation and propaganda shows that the seeds for fascism have already been planted here. This country’s government does everything to actively suppress communist movements and are attempting to exhaust Marxist-Leninist efforts.
I have developed two reactions to this, one cynical and one more optimistic, but I struggle to tell which one is closer to reality. The cynical side of me thinks that this country has fallen too far into the deep end and can’t be saved, that communism cannot happen in a place like this, and it’s better to leave and start elsewhere than stay and possibly die at the hands of fascists. The other part of me believes that choice could be cowardly, and it is better to stay and create communist infrastructure and protect the marginalized.
u/youtubepuab - originally from r/GenZhouFascism is a tool, it is not “inevitable” but is a historical phenomena, it comes in times of crisis as the old society transforms in the new. There will only be fascist answer once a communist movement is large enough to be a vanguard of the country. Will this fascism be in the West? No it will be in the global south. Reactionary forces within the global south have already quelled many communist rebellions, but it is inevitable that they will lose.
The DOTP within Western countries will be the last. When the imperialist countries have to face their contradictions, only then they will fall.
