Predict when the global 99% will overthrow the global 1%. Or predict that climate change / nuclear war will exterminate the human species before this occurs. Use evidence. You have 15 minutes.
China has a "non-interference" foreign policy, so the proletariat of other countries can only rely on themselves
But yes, The imperialist hegemony headed by the United States will decline,China will be the beacon of socialism,
A war in the South China Sea is a rapid suicide
Continuing the current imperialist policy is a chronic suicide.
Different routes lead to the same goal.
within the next 20 years, the US will lose a carrier in a medium-sized war (think something Iran scale) and that will be the point when American decline becomes a mainstream discussion.
This Trump-era psychosis is just a preview of what we'll see then.
That's the drama of our exsistence: Born too late for USSR, born too early for full blown communism.
Of course, that's a nobel goal. How can people like man of us (1st world millennials, who live in a capitalist society). I don't think we can prepare the coming generations of the US or central Europe for a socialist revolution. I tink it might be a bigger help to the casuse if we move to a socialist society and but in what we have.
Approximately 20 years after the world is already irreparably fucked by climate change.
We are already in a revolutionary period and we don't know when it will peak. It's really hard to imagine some sort of communist party takeover of the US state apparatus at this point, but there are a lot of other directions a revolution can go.
I don't think class struggle will be confined to the history books by the end of the century. I do think there's a good chance of marked improvements in the right direction though, and some of those will have come directly out of painful insurrectionary moments.
It was hard to imagine a revolution in Russia. :xi-shining:
Victor Serge claims to have predicted the revolution when he was in a French prison. When WW1 began, he says he knew that the backward Russian government would never survive. But I think the revolution took almost everyone by surprise.
Also I think the lack of a sustained organized revolution in the USA makes sense given the massive number of people who own their homes (around 60%) and how America is still largely the beneficiary of global capitalism.
in the west only when china is seen as a superior form of government by the masses. could happen by 2030 if there is a great depression, but may only happen after 2050. in the developing world things are heating up right now, for example in latin america. and communism could totally expand in asia as well.
Last June or so I heard from an American normie (although a Bernie voter) that her daughter had said: “why can’t we be more like China?”
right now it's still seen as a third world country, on top of the atrocity propaganda by western media. then there is the issue that people don't quite understand how china can be representative without democracy. as china develops and improves its image and outreach with westerners it will be increasingly difficult to pretend that chinese socialism isn't the superior system for the working class.
