Is pushing an anti-imperialist movement within the imperial core worth it? I think it's the best thing we can do right now
Yeah, everything we can do to prevent the US from fucking with other countries is absolutely worth it. That said, the biggest protest in American history was in 2003 against the Iraq War and it didn't change shit so I'm very skeptical of the ability for us to change foreign policy calculus in the United States.
Everything builds on itself. Also, Iraq war protests were fairly divorced from labor organizing, any major protests in the next decade or so will have a very different relationship to labor. Without that, yelling in the streets doesn't do much
