When I see growing nationalism in Europe and the whole world, climate being fucked up, what will create a migration catastrophe and wars, rich becoming richer and poor getting poorer, I think the world is burning and going to a catastrophe, and there is too late for a world revolution. World is already in fire and angry people will go to the far right and nazi instead build communism. China will not save the world since in my opinion it becomes nationalist and focused on making private money; it is just the least disgusting of the main players. It is not Deng Xiaoping’s China anymore. The fucking world will burn soon. I do not see a reason why bring children into this world and actually live here. Is there a light of hope?
I feel kind of similar about unwillingness to bring children into this world. Things look bleak.
Except I am a little more hopeful - historically things going to shit were a prelude to change. It’s hard to say if we personally will experience socialist revolution in our country during our lifetimes, but I find it hard to believe that eventually there will be none. At the very least it will happen in the Global South, for example, and the struggle will continue. If humanity survives the worst, the sun will eventually shine and I am almost certain that capitalism (still a very young system which proved to be a failure) will fail, making space for social progress.
Considering that I was depressed most of my life, I don’t feel especially bad right now. Either we win and things get better or we die, fighting for the better world. Both options are better than just sitting there and being confused.
I think that things will change and it’s up to us to stay on the right path and try to make things better. World cannot stay on the path it is right now on and I really think there are more and more chances opening up. Stay strong, Comrade.
Maybe the Global South, as you say, is our hope and quite probably China will support such countries.
If things would went so far, what is not completely unrealistic given the situation, thinking that my son would rise without his father is even more depressing.
Anyway, this song is so powerful it cheered me up: https://youtu.be/iUhAnHNc3kU
I’m very sorry - I wish that someday we will have a conversation about these things in a more cheerful tone. One way or another, there will be a fight and that’s good that you’re staying here with us.
Przed niosem niechaj tyran drży. Ruszymy z posad byłę świata, Dziś niczem, jutro wszystkim my! (:
I see no other reasonable or moral option. Thank you comrade.
