He told me about how he had to break up a fight between a tankie kid and a prepubescent fascist, and how all the Chinese kids are suddenly talking about American imperialism.
God the kids are so cool. How did they get so cool. Fuck.

I know the situation with the left in the west isn't great but we so far ahead of what I remember growing up in the 90s. Michael Moore represent the absolute furthest left anyone in the US could conceive of. Yeah you had RATM but socialism was so far out of favor that people heard the lyrics and were just like Arnold in Westworld ("it doesn't look like anything to me"). Similar thing with the Che shirts. Progress may feel like very little but I do think it's something.
You sure that isn't just you radicalizing? There have been left-wing movements in the US always. There were those WTO protests in 1999 for example. Are there really more people with left-wing views who reject western propaganda today than there were previously? Socialism in Russia ended in 1991, is it really more popular now than it was right then? I guess that would make sense lol.
