Imperialists have been engaging in Rosa's barbarism since before she repeated the phrase. It has just been largely exported to other counteies and normalized by liberalism. Hundreds of millions die every decade from this, from capitalist deprivation, from "failed states" created by imperialists, from "targeted sanctions" of entire nations of mostly children. There is a chauvinism in the phrase, as it is really about the homeward visitation of these exported depravities, that "civilization" (Europe) will fall apart due to the destructive nature of advancing capitalism.

The struggle today is virtually the same as it was back then, albeit with material changes to how different nations' economies have developed. The "service" and "consumer" economies, the rise of China. Europe saw two massive wars inside itself due to capitalism, it did the barbarism already, and capitalism moved on to punch at everything opposed to it for the next century, destroying European socialism and relegating various countries to isolation and poverty. Wr are in the barbarism, we are fighting against it and have, globally, been doing so for about four centuries.
