Obviously it's a process that is always brewing under capitalism but you know what I mean. Do you think we are close, like within 5 to 10 years close to a major declaration of war between the imperial core and the periphery or something of the sort? Would you argue it's already started?
I see Palestine liberating itself, I see solidarity with them along the people, I see the ripples that the Ukraine conflict has started, I see more and more revolutionary sentiment building. Could be an experience bias because now I'm more involved in real life so I see it more, but things just seem to be accelerating and I'm here for it. Much work needs to be done to capitalize and educate/funnel us all towards a progressive revolution and not a reactionary one, but I'm ready
I'm also thinking about Germany mulling madatory conscription, the constant headlines from European states that they need to get ready for another continental war. Isn'treal trying to start a major conflict with Hezbolla, Yemen and Iran, plus the constant Taiwan rattle-sabering.
My one hope is, in the universes consistent rule of irony, that the West with its already near total deindustrialisation and gig economy, that the beast is already far to decayed to pull any of this off. That and our rulers are dumber than a bag of rocks.
It’s called dialectics, the universality of contradiction. The accumulation of great masses of surplus capital leads to a crumbling economy.
