No offense intended, but I feel like this is basically doomer talk with slightly more nuance. Not that the revolution can’t or won’t start in the global south - in fact, that’s pretty much the only way I see it happening - but the idea that we can do nothing but sit and wait until then just seems too cynical to me. We should put in the work to build socialism at home, even if we know we’re going to fail, because that’s how we set the groundwork for the next generation.
