Red Dawn is a dope movie, forget who the “others” or the enemies are. It’s an American movie from the 80’s. If it wanted to have any commercial success it’s obvious who would be the “bad guys”.

The characters want to break their friends and family out of concentration camps and reclaim their homes. The Wolverines are basically Hamas.

It’s an anti-imperialist movie at heart.

Insurrection baby!

The socialist revolution begins on the national arena, it unfolds on the international arena, and is completed on the world arena. Thus, the socialist revolution becomes a permanent revolution in a newer and broader sense of the word; it attains completion, only in the final victory of the new society on our entire planet.

I’m sure I am just misunderstanding the broader definition of permanent revolution, but this seems to summarize the way I see it.

To me this doesn’t seem to oppose socialism in one country, but rather just make it the first step, which can be taken in tandem with an international movement.

Yeah, this was an extremely poor analogy, I have left it up as a testament to my stupidity

Which is exactly why I think it’s important for the proletariat to be connected across state boundaries. Allows people to better understand current issues outside their own experience and what would have to be done to correct them. If two neighboring countries with vastly different natural resource reserves are both socialist and both countries allow free flow of trade (which I think any two socialist states should), it helps everyone involved.

Yes, I would love global communism.

Which is what, to my understanding, Trotskyism argued for. But yeah, plenty of people have pointed out even if his writings point to that, in practice that is not really how Trotskyists act.

Okay but I kiiinda get the feeling y’all don’t actually want socialism for the western world, you just want it to burn. Like if America became AES, people would still yell death to Amerikkka.

Edit: Sorry this was an incredibly idealist take by me.
