  • Better than nothing. Like any org, local chapter is the most important thing. There are green party chapters with MLs in charge and there are PSL chapters with sex pests in charge. Try and see what they do in your community. If they do work you agree with, great, if they are inactive or you don’t like the work they do, find something better. Can’t hurt to check it out though. Maybe great, maybe terrible, but you’ll never know if you don’t show up and see for yourself.


  • It won’t. What it will do is allow successful revolutions to have a large trade partner to help develop their country. But China isn’t in the business of spreading revolution or defending allies like the USSR was. If Cuba got invaded by the US tomorrow I highly doubt China would do much more than try and coordinate with the UN to stop it or something. Perhaps they may secretly fund Cuba or whatever but again, I doubt anything directly. Not hating on China or anything. Its perfectly reasonable to look out for yourself first as a country. Even if it seems a bit, nationalist (because it is), its a reasonable approach.

    Most of those are quite business as usual for capitalism though. Calling it fascist while good for drawing a parallel isn’t entirely true. Its peak capitalist settler colonialism which is pretty close but not entirely fascist. Communist parties are still legal, people still have some civil protections (not many, but far more than you’d have in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy). The US is basically diet fascist. Not quite fully there, but doing as much as it can to get close to it.

    Like I said, if the left actually got its shit together then the US would happily fully implement fascism but really that is the only reason it hasn’t fully done so.

    About as fascist as any other capitalist nation. Which is to say if there was any threat to the Russian bourgeois by their working class it would be. Probably the only reason the US isn’t full fascist yet is because leftism is so dead in this country that the capitalist class doesn’t need to worry about such things.
