    Yeah! And we need to do it in a way where the incredibly rich and powerful who have a vested interest and desparate need for us to fail won’t kill our movement! In the past and present, any socialist movement was met with

    • death squads
    • propaganda
    • military invasions
    • assasinations of heads of state
    • funding, arming, and training the opposition
    • economic sanctions
    • so, so much propaganda

    all funded by the absurdly wealthy to make nations fail and make them more amenable to re-exploitation by the owning class.

    Any ideas on how to defend ourselves against this phenomenon which occurs over and over again?
