Obviously it's a process that is always brewing under capitalism but you know what I mean. Do you think we are close, like within 5 to 10 years close to a major declaration of war between the imperial core and the periphery or something of the sort? Would you argue it's already started?

I see Palestine liberating itself, I see solidarity with them along the people, I see the ripples that the Ukraine conflict has started, I see more and more revolutionary sentiment building. Could be an experience bias because now I'm more involved in real life so I see it more, but things just seem to be accelerating and I'm here for it. Much work needs to be done to capitalize and educate/funnel us all towards a progressive revolution and not a reactionary one, but I'm ready

I think a revolution of sorts is visibly underway, though it's not necessarily, strictly, a proletarian revolution (it does involve it in many regions, and it paves the way for it in other parts of the world).

It's a revolution of nations against the system of Anglo-European, white supremacist, imperialist empire and hegemony- a revolution that, in the face of both the unparalleled evil of the crackerverse, and the empire's decline- is seeing disenfranchised, exploited, and divided nations from across the global south and (parts of) eastern Europe- of all sorts, communists, liberals, Islamists, monarchies, even the proto-fascists like the Hindutvas- coming together for one beautiful common goal, to free the world (and primarily themselves) once and for all from the scourge of humanity that is western imperialism.

Whether world war will come out of that is another matter. I don't really dare say one way or another, TBH- I'd like to hope things can reach a point where the west can be properly contained and their present state institutions dissolved if need be (IMO it will be needed for the west to ever rejoin the rest of humanity). I'm not so optimistic as to say that's how things will go, though.

"Crackerverse" I fucking love that term.

I really love your overall comment though. I do have some lite criticism though. This might not mean much coming from me, and this is a problem I share blame for as well, and it's extremely hard to predict and plan for the future, but I feel that the genuine left isn't doing near as much as we should in the grand scheme of things. It's amazing that capitalism is so close to collapse, but I'm very worried that just because many people will be cheering for it, that we need to root out and exterminate the right-wingers, monarchists, fascists and other douchebags alongside the collapse, otherwise they will take advantage of the collapse, if they can't be persuaded otherwise.

I believe that the ultimate battle for the future of humanity is coming soon, and I am cautiously optimistic.
