President Masoud Pezeshkian has voiced Iran’s readiness for “serious and constructive” cooperation with China, particularly within the framework of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), ahead of his planned visit to China later this month.
I simply don’t see how China can save the working class in the Imperial Core if they don’t have organized movements themselves to perform revolutionary defeatism from within.
Without left wing movements, declining economies and the amplifying effects of climate change will simply accelerate into fascism like you said. You have millions of people getting radicalized in real time but with no (serious) movements to join (organizing milquetoast protests do not count lol!) - and so in a world where everyone is out for themselves, even those with left leaning sympathies will be forced to adopt reactionary stance just for their own survival.
Also, History is always marching on and full of surprises. You can never truly plan for what’s coming - there are so many historical precedences where accidents or unanticipated incidents can tilt the balance in one way or the other very quickly, and those who were not in the position to capitalize on the changing order will be swept away by the winds of History and became nothing more than a footnote.
