The amount of sheer evidence at the failure of anarchism, on top of documents from the imperial core stating it’s ineptitude and a way to counter true proletarian struggle, and Western “leftists” still don’t see it.
It’s not even blind ignorance, although many might be. They just care about themselves and the benefits of living in a society that extracts wealth from the Global South.
Western communism has been a failure as well to be honest.
Its not for a lack of trying… almost every country in central and south america had a popular communist movement that was squashed due to their promixity to the US. Only a few have survived (obvi only Cuba is openly ML, but the others are at least in transitions): Cuba, VZ, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Peru.
By west do you mean the western hemisphere? I was thinking @pimento@lemmygrad.ml meant the global north or the “international community” by west.
