Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?
By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.
Its difficult to say. A better world is possible, and its worth believing in and fighting for. I worry though that that obviously true and beautiful fact - that a better world is possible - is so beyond the comprehension of the average American. That idea has been driven out of public consciousness by the largest and most pervasive propganda apparatus ever. I believe communism will win, but I'm not optimistic about the near term revolutionary potential of the US. So much here seems waited to go toward barbarism. But the decline of the US will be a major boon for revolution around the world
