Is the next revolutionary wave near?
This question is probably asked once per month by a variety of people, although that is of course understandable.
One could say that the next revolutionary wave has already sort-of begun because of the revolutions in the Sahel. But what I'm talking about is something bigger than that. I am talking about a faster and broader takeover of nations by socialist and/or anti-imperialist movements.
Not in America or most of the west no, liberal-fascism is the only mass movement considered by the majority for now.
In Africa? I think we're seeing a wave now that will continue to wash over Africa as a result of the loss of military hegemony due to the Ukraine/Russia war.
I think that AES could have a domino effect for other African countries, West African countries especially
I could potentially see it in the West but we still need things to get a lot worse, we’re going to need to see a massive drop in the quality of life and under an explicitly fascist regime.
It’s not happening for at least a decade though.
Nice username, it checks out.
The latter may feed into the former. The US, including I believe much of its military power, is fueled by resources it plunders from Africa. I'm hoping with the US's weakening forces and weakening soft power, people will be more incentivized to follow suit with what's going on in Africa (and also in South America, there may be a wave incoming there too).
The plunder will be recentered in the Western Hemisphere. Canada, Brazil, etc
