I think third worldism is about to be ripped apart by climate change. We’re going to see a very very rapid destabilisation occur from climate refugee movements numbering in the tens of millions. It took just thousands of Syrian refugees to provoke huge EU destabilisation that led to Brexit, Greece, Italy, far right movements, etc etc… What’s going to happen when the numbers are in the millions is going to blow it out of the water.
This rapid destabilisation is going to create a lot of revolutionary events.
Won’t that just accelerate fascism though? Though I guess you could apply the same argument to the third world as well, in terms of anti colonial nationalism that doesn’t go anywhere.
Yes. But everything that creates revolutionary conditions also accelerates fascism. It will win in some places, but I’m also quite sure that it will lose in others. We can not change the fact that these conditions are coming so we can only figure out what we’re going to do within them.
My belief is that we should be preparing for this situation so that we can act when it comes.

I agree with you there 100%. We need to prepare now
