Conditions point to certain universal conclusions, but a big issue with the Western Left in particular is being the beneficiaries of Imperialism and having to go against that system to truly be internationalist.
Oh absolutely, it’s relatively easy to accept the benefits of Socialism over Capitalism in a vacuum, but when you extrapolate that to the real world it requires uncomfortable recognition of benefiting from a system that supports you. Now, that system is crumbling, so that jump gets easier and easier.
