There has been a large anti fascist campaign against this so called "Gen Z" protest, done by communists and anarchists. So far, this "apolitical" Gen Z protest has been rather weak.
I don't mean to be rude with my original comment, but honestly, and sadly, I disagree.
What do you think moved the masses into revolution in Cuba, Vietnam, China, or imperial Russia? All of them had terrible despotic leaderships or situations of colonization that caused inmense suffering.
It's not pretty. But it is a pattern. At the very very most, you might get a socialist (not Bernie) elected through bourgeois democratic means under current US conditions, like was the case for Chavez, Morales, or Allende (with all of their huge flaws).
What can we do as revolutionaries then? Struggle to raise the levels of discipline within our parties, and raise the levels of consciousness of the masses to the largest extent, so that the bloodshed, when it arrives, is reduced to a minimum.
What might be a catalyst for all of this? Maybe Climate change, but this will impact the global south and cause mass death here way before the gringos really start feeling uncomfortable.
I wholeheartedly disagree, I don't think it's fear any more than really, that gringos are just way too fucking comfortable living in the imperial core to take any real action.
Gringos don't know what that struggle looks like cause they have never lived it. I dont really care if some of them are living in precarious conditions. They have never been bombed or executed extrajudicially or seen major violence like that in their lifetime. And that has made them comfortable. EDIT: And no, seeing violence in TV is no replacement for seeing bombs and dead bodies yourself. The US has been accustomed to seeing dead brown kids n TV all its history, and only shrug it off.
I think if the left in the US really is going to stand up and fight their governemnt, they will have to face a reckoning in which the state's violence is coming hard for the masses, and only relatively large amounts of pain, death and destruction will start mobilizing the left in a more revolutionary way.
Other than that? Look at the state of the US left. It's rather pathetic.
Saddening to see resistance parties get burnt. What's the sentiment in the country regarding the Zionist entity? What's it gonna take to remobilize the streets?
Wow this fucking sucks
