Yes because we all can afford to move abroad and not try to improve material conditions. Also, not trying in first world countries will just give governments like the US and UK more leeway to oppress AES and third world countries. BE isn’t even apart of an org either.

    I think I agree with the analysis, that the left in the first world has been effectively neutralized/domesticated, but I don't support his conclusion that this means we should just give up or move to the third world and colonize it in the name of "doing leftism better somewhere else".

    I think we need to have hard conversations about how to fix the problem where the left has been neutralized, and how to stop being controlled opposition. I don't know how to get out of this situation, but the first step is to acknowledge it.
