The main ones causing problems in the world are rich capitalists, but there's basically no viable threat to them or their power currently and it looks like there isn't going to be one in the foreseeable future.

    The rate of profit continues to fall and has for decades, the stock market is completely detached from reality, and climate change is going to put a serious cramp on accumulation that no amount of space mining can offset. Everything Marx predicted that was stalled by the siege of the Soviet Union is now coming true in full technicolour.

    On the other hand the left is more organised and radicalised than at any time since the early 80s despite the superficial electoral defeats. Unionisation is up and more radical and several Mutual Aid networks I know are formalising their distribution systems to allow aid at large scale. The seeds of a real multi-tendency cadre is there, and popular sympathy grows every day. Their attempts to merc South America failed hilariously and Africa too is swinging left.

    In China, Xi is slowly swinging away from the primitive capitalist development of recent decades now he has a commanding economic position. Mose socialist internal policy and more internationalist external policy is slowly being developed.

    Things are good comrade, the final crisis of capitalism is coming and while we aren't ready for it yet, we will be.
