So dont let it get taken. Americans will moan all day about the state of things but refuse to stop going into work. If you're having your future taken from you why are you worried about what's at stake now enough to keep your head down?
yeah i love getting kicked out of my shelter and having no food to eat
the best possible outcome for the demon pedo nation is for it to perish under the weight of its own contradictions
Nothing is to be done.

Makes sure you check the 'Comment moderation history' but yeah I think both are just posting Removed by mod whereas for mine and the above you can see what was removed and the reason
OH LOL they got my ass
Yes, continue to march into the future in which you will have none anyway.
Without a mass movement, you're describing suicide.
China is the only superpower that's making a concerted effort not to boil the planet, they're the only reason that poverty as fallen over the past decades(take them out of the stats and its risen)
There maybe no future in the west but long term human survival and maintaing a habitable planet, and making sure no one has to live in poverty should be a premier goal for anarchists and communists
You can argue that there's better ways to reach those goals, but in actually material reality 'authoritarian' China is the only realistic chance for halting the Anthropocene Extinction and host of other universally bad things
Real leftist organisation in the west effecting positive change, while important to fight for is as of now many, many years away from even limited fruition thus anti-imperialism needs the be a main focus of any real leftist project
Viewing China as making positive developments and being a society brimming with potential is not mutually exclusive with fighting for change in the west
Yeah I kinda just ignored the China bit there. I think things probably look pretty sweet right now if you are a Chinese citizen.
Its not impossible to move to China if you are in danger of persecution in the west(they've even recently relaxed visa regs), or to
to fight for a revolutionary change to a China style system at home
or at the very least advocate for reform to your local system so that it more closely resembles China's where the working class control the commanding heights of the economy
(through a vanguard party, and not as in a idealised but not currently realistic system of direct democracy and instantly recallable delegates as advocated by most anarchists, and China is increasing the amount of horizontal power in society such as increasing the amount of worker co-ops, but not at a rate most anarchists would like)
rather than have Oligarchs dictate everything
not american also i'm not taking advice from an anarchist
no more sectarianism comrade, i'll give you a pass on this one though because it made me laugh
fair enough sorry
