The Two Tyrannies are the Biggest Enemies of the Revolution
Try setting up a radical left group in China or Russia.
Working class revolution down the track is best served by recognizing that the primary problem at the moment is the presence in the world of the two tyrannies, China and Russia. Geopolitically, this is mainly manifested in the contradiction between these two powers and the Western bourgeois democracies. And generally, the whole thing can be best dubbed the battle for democracy.
Russia could be knocked off this list if the Western powers were to be "aggressive imperialists". It could be decisively defeated. Both Belarus and Ukraine would be free and Europe safe. Russia would be surrounded and blockaded while negotiations proceeded for the handover of its nuclear weapons. And the Ruscists would be politically weakened by their decisive defeat. This would be a major Free World victory. However, I think it is unlikely to happen unless the Ruscists launch an attack on Europe and galvanize it into a full blown response, a bit like Pearl Harbor. And if it lacked U.S. support it would not be a picnic.
However, even if by some magic that all happened, then there would still be the bigger enemy, China. Indeed, China could annex bits of weakened Russia and reduce its resource dependence. It is a regime that deprives its own people of political freedom and endeavors to undermine it elsewhere. And as long as China remains a well organized tyranny, there is no hope of a revolutionary communist movement emerging in that country. And as long as it remains a very well armed tyranny, it poses a serious threat to the prospects of a successful revolutionary bid for power in the rest of the world. A revolutionary movement that emerges under the favorable conditions of bourgeois democracy would have to take on not only local reactionary forces in a bid for power but those headquartered in Beijing. The victory of future revolutionary wars will depend on the balance of forces. So, the less heavily armed tyrannies pumped up on fascist, ethno-nationalist ideology there are the better.
As well as the threats from without there is the fifth columnist one from within. All oppose the West aiding Ukraine and rearming to deter or defeat the tyrannies. Some also work to white ant political freedom, often aided by the external foe. So, we need to unite with everyone who can be united with in defense of bourgeois democracy and with every government willing to stand up to the predator tyrannies. So, lots of "class collaboration" are in order.
Some people claim that the western powers are just as bad. They are denounced as hypocrites. We are then presented with a list of Western aggression over the last 35 years: expelling Iraq from Kuwait; interrupting Serbia's genocidal plans for Kosovo; taking out a regime in Afghanistan that was harboring Al Qaeda forces and refusing to leave the Middle Ages; and removing Saddam Hussein from Iraq and installing a regime that was no longer a tyranny nor threat to its neighbors. I am sorry but I simply do not see, in any of this, attempts to take the world to a darker place. Indeed, I think the main problem with the West over the last 35 years is its insufficient action. It should have sent a far larger force to Iraq to ensure control of the country and suppress ISIS and Baathist insurgencies, and internecine conflicts. The failure to do so led to considerable bloodshed. And the death and destruction reaped by ISIS and Assad could have been prevented by sufficient and timely Western intervention.
Support for Israel in its war against the Palestinians, especially its present annihilation of Gaza, has pretty much runs its course. A two state solution is in the interest of Europe and even the U.S. However, it is only going to happen with the European intervention that I talk about in my last post. If radicals and progressives care about Palestine they should demand such a course. If the West were to clean up its act in this way it would greatly gain geopolitically.
