When change is forced upon the global north, it will still be an internal change, just one triggered by external conditions. And that internal change, whenever it happens, will need local principled and organized communists. So, the thing to do is the same as always, educate yourself and others, agitate, organize.
This is really good, because as a white person in the global north, while I agree with third worldism it can also make me feel kinda useless.
Someone has to drive towards balkanization and also organize mutual aid groups to support those in need. I get that feeling of helplessness, but thankfully there is very real work to be done in the core.
if you want to do a revolution then why would you want to force balkanization, it would just make it easier for reaction.
It’s less wanting it to balkanize and more that I don’t believe the contradictions of the American empire will allow it to stay united once it reaches a breaking point sufficient for revolution.
