Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Sounds to me like western leftists need to organize and get a revolution going as the contradictions in neoliberalism continue to escalate towards fascism. We can't rely on China to save us, or Palestine.
It sounds depressing and hopeless now, but western leftists should remember how fast things progress sometime. At one point, Lenin was convinced he wouldn't see the revolution during his lifetime. Hell, all the stuff with the Paris Commune happened in like three months.
I simply don’t see how China can save the working class in the Imperial Core if they don’t have organized movements themselves to perform revolutionary defeatism from within.
Without left wing movements, declining economies and the amplifying effects of climate change will simply accelerate into fascism like you said. You have millions of people getting radicalized in real time but with no (serious) movements to join (organizing milquetoast protests do not count lol!) - and so in a world where everyone is out for themselves, even those with left leaning sympathies will be forced to adopt reactionary stance just for their own survival.
Also, History is always marching on and full of surprises. You can never truly plan for what’s coming - there are so many historical precedences where accidents or unanticipated incidents can tilt the balance in one way or the other very quickly, and those who were not in the position to capitalize on the changing order will be swept away by the winds of History and became nothing more than a footnote.
