    Every ounce of progress, hard-fought for, can be revoked if we allow it to be.

    Every generation is a fight, and we have failed miserably multiple times in my lifetime to carry on the fight with the necessary strength or direction.

      If it makes you feel better we live in a great time and generation. It just isn’t in America or the west in general. Many countries once kept in poverty by western Imperialism have broken their chains and moved towards better self determination.

      We (humans) are building a multi-polar world. If you’re in the west and you support this liberation of the workers of the world, even at your own material cost, that is something to feel solidarity for.

      It’s easy to focus on the awful things happening today and feel like progress is not being made. The conflicts and tensions are so high BECAUSE people are fighting back.

      The beast of Imperialism is badly wounded and is lashing out recklessly. It is fighting against its own contradictions that it cannot defeat and is now lashing out inwards towards its own population. In time it will destroy itself and they will be free from it as well. The beast will either be killed or bleed out slowly. But it’s strength and oppression it puts on the world will end in time.
