Saw this thread, and it really hit a chord with me, as these similar fears tend to constantly weigh on me (for various reasons- being trans, ethnic Chinese, commie, etc).
I think we all (leftists, but also just most minorities) know, shit is bad and will get worse, it's just a question of how bad it will get. People mention it offhand without usually going further into the details, and similarly in other spaces - non-leftist ones as well, for instance Asian diasporic and LGBT spaces in my experience, these fears come up, but ultimately we keep the bulk of our concerns to ourselves. What are our expectations here, for the west? Not just for the US, but the Anglosphere and Europe?
I can't add much to this amazing post, other than a small data point:
A pro-palestine group and socialist org were both formed early this year in the red state small city that I recently moved from. Multiple members are MLs, some are anarchists, maybe a couple trots, all independently radicalized and self-educated. Even more inspiring was the trajectory of some of the members from liberal democrat to early-ML, just in the couple months I was there.
Things are happening, just not visibly in the bourgeois-controlled spectacle.
