    Tbh i think we’re just totally absolutely fucked unless China or others use serious state assets to support us, because the sheer scale of coordination and necessary materiel to confront the bourgeoisie is just too great.

    Tbf marx’a position in 1848-9 wasnt much different. He (and engels) argued proletarian revolution would require a napoleon-type world war between bourgeois revolutionary france and germany and britain+russia giving the proletariat of all european countries the opporunity to rise up. Marx’s new years greeting in his newspaper for 1849 therefore hoped for a world war, which never came and so the various proletarian revolutions were strangled in their cradles
