Yea but we can still hold out cope that China dominating the world economy with no slowing down will result in some trickle down communist ideology for the rest of the world in the same way America exported blue jeans and misery
yeah, that’s the only way it can happen and, even then, that’s assuming that something like climate change doesn’t force the status quo to change so much that chiina stops automatically winning by simply not being douche bags to humanity.
China is taking a more active role the larger the gap between them and the US Empire. Further, the global south is developing out of the underdevelopment trap they’ve been caught in, and so we are seeing a string of resistance in Latin America and African states.
Not exactly. There’s heightened struggle, and as the US Empire erodes both reaction and progressive elements rise. That’s why it both seems more dire, and yet there’s more socialists than ever.
Yes. I don’t mean to throw shade on all that they are doing. I just don’t think they’re coming to save us and frankly, we shouldn’t ask them to. If we can get to a point where a viable communist party is one faction of a civil war, perhaps they would render some form of aid, but we can’t depend on that. We have to be willing and able to support ourselves.
Agreed! We have to take action ourselves. Aid is wonderful, but sovereignty comes from independence. We should not reject aid, but we should not require it either.
Long story short Xi asked Trump if Trump thought it was possible for the US and China to avoid war as the US Empire is declining and China is rising. He used a historical comparison of a dying empire and a rising rival state.
and that’s all that will ever happen considering how non-interventionist the chinese have proven themselves to be.

the latin american ones seem to be succumbing to the actions of the us empire.

i want your news feed since mine only shows election wins for the us empire and the struggles of people fighting back easily disregarded.
soberania & telesur currently dominate my feed, but given venezuela’s political trajectory, it makes sense to switch telesur to something else.
I am not counting Venezuela out yet. As the empire dies out, it’s going to be messy.
why?
Why am I not counting Venezuela out yet? Sometimes strategic victories require tactical retreats.

There playing the long game tho, if they do anything for the US to justify a war against them then thats pretty bad.
agreed and i think that why they used the athens reference at their last summit and totally ignored the carthage reference. lol
I don’t get the context, I don’t follow Chinese politics.
