Sooner than later I hope. The genocide in Gaza proves the liberal international order isn't working and needs to go away.

The problem is that previous collapses of globalism have generally been followed by a period of destructive wars.

It won't be replaced with something better.

This is one case where better the devil you don't know.

Why not?

Because said neoliberal order has soent the past 40 years crushing any criticism from the left and sowing the seeds for fascism. Corporations aren't going to give up all the power they have accumulated without a fight

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 months ago

Fascism is a reactionary response to the decay of Capitalism, yes, but Socialism is the natural evolution beyond Capitalism. The left can and will win against the fascists.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 20 points 4 months ago

That's the hope, but the liberals will crown the fascists rather than concede anything to the socialists. I'm not expecting any large socialist movement here in the US, and fully expect a fascist purging of all their "undesirables".

The US will not have a large leftist movement until the global south pushes back and lifestyles in the US are no longer inflated by extreme global exploitation. If the global south revolts, as they seem to be over time, the opportunity will come and what has been minor quantitative shifts will result in a qualitative change in the US.
