The systemic breakdown that our socioeconomic system is creating has the potential to do more than worsen the suffering of the people. Capitalism has survived so long because it’s been able to exploit the crises it creates, to profit off of wars, depressions, pandemics, and environmental catastrophes. Yet in certain instances, these crises have instead produced victories for the working class. World War I made the Russian revolution possible, World War II made the Chinese revolution possible, the living standards crisis that the IMF engineered across the Global South made the formation of many anti-imperialist governments possible. When the capitalists disrupt society, they do so with the risk that the outcome will be not greater profits but an end to their rule.
They have nukes tho. At least padding the superstructure with the concept of maybe we should be nice to people leads the US to a decline instead of a nuclear war.
Absolutely I agree the objective should be to avoid war. Foreign policy should be directed in a non-aggressive direction. Jeffrey Sachs has been warning for years now to deescalate. Unfortunately it looks like the politicians in the US are not for that.
If you can organize along those grounds, and try to affect foreign policy and self determination for the US colonies in the pacific, those are tangible goals. But I think organizing for a revolution is, again, just going to get a lot of comrades killed.
Yea don’t do it in a way that is obvious. Revolution in a feudal society of imperial periphery of the 20th century will look different than revolution in a mass surveillance 21st century society of the imperial core.
