Capitalist media praises anarchist lone rebels while branding Marxism as authoritarian. Yet, splintered Anarchist factions end up being easily scattered by the centralized capitalist state power.

Meanwhile, Marxists unite under vanguard parties to build a unified vision to effectively challenge the system. Capital fears unity, and thus blesses anarchist disarray while crushing Marxism.

There is no hope for America. There is no saving America, only destroying it. We in America aren't suffering. We don't know what suffering is. The worst, most painful suffering you'd see in America is superceded by the average daily suffering of the working classes of colonized and semi-colonial countries. The labor aristocracies of imperial core countries have nothing to be liberated from other than their own existences.

Because of imperialism, the main contradiction isn't just between the bourgeoisie and proletariat within nations but also between the oppressor nations of the Global North and the oppressed nations of the Global South. The exploitation of the proletariat in the Global South is shaped by historical colonialism and ongoing imperialism, meaning revolutionary potential lies mainly in colonized and semi-colonial countries rather than in advanced capitalist nations. #socialism #capitalism #communism

This is exactly why a socialist revolution likely isn't gonna happen any time soon in imperial core countries like America. Most workers in America don't hate capitalism enough to revolt, and why should they? They gain the most benefits from capitalism than any of the other workers in the world. If another socialist revolution is going to happen, it's going to be in Peru, India, or Africa, not America, Canada, or Britain. #socialism #communism #capitalism

"The growing threat of the right must be addressed. But this must not come at the expense of dissolving socialist politics into coalitions whose political and economic strategies – of neoliberalism and global war-making in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and across Asia – have been so directly responsible for the growth of hard-right forces in the first place. Indeed, in this conjuncture, it is more important than ever that the socialist left do everything possible to increase its visibility, create an organizational presence, and advance, as strongly as possible, an alternative political vision. This is not only necessary to preserve the democratic gains of the past but also to address the mounting demands of the ‘terrifying’ near future that Trump, NATO, and climate change are unrelentingly pushing us towards. If the market-based ‘solutions’ to the ecological crisis offered by the neoliberal center are inadequate, we must explicitly insist that only a fundamental challenge to capital, and a deep reorganization of the economy through a radical democracy and the implementation of a democratic planning regime, has any chance of leading to a sustainable future. That we are running out of time does not mean that centrist compromises or ultra-left posturing suddenly become more effective."

socialistproject.caFrom Bad to Worse – Socialist ProjectThe Legitimation Crisis and Authoritarian State The current political conjuncture can be defined by an unfolding sense, in Canada and around the world, that neoliberal policies have failed and even capitalism itself is not working. This is driven by the weakening, dismantling, or even destruction of the things that had…
