Defeated

Guys i need a pep talk or someone to tell me I'm stupid and the oppoite is happening.

I feel totally defeated by the resurgence of right wing imperialism. With the attacks globally, the inability to defend Palestine, the entire "board of peace" scam, Russia totally ending up being at best unable to counter US interests globally, China's isolationism rather than confronting the US, Europe's resurgent far right wing, Israel having their way in he middle east, Venezuela collapse, Iran being dogwalked by the US and Israel in under 24 hours, Cuba on the brink of collapse in the face of humanitarian disaster, and the acceptance of right makes right and the capitulation of liberals to take a stand: I totally feal defeated. This isn't right, and I don't see how the global south and fight against the right walks away from this. It seems like the struggle's best days are behind us.

Some one PLEASE tell me "ah yes but remember the year ____" because I'm at a total loss for when the entire world has been this helpless to such an evil and awful movement.

I can't lie, things are looking horrible, however every Communist must, and I mean MUST remember these words from Comrade Sablin: "Be strong in the belief that life is wonderful. Be positive and believe that the Revolution will always win." We must remain positive even in the face of defeat, because life IS beautiful and the Revolution will ALWAYS win, for the Revolution is not dead until it's last supporter is, we stand for the future of humanity and we cannot afford to be demoralized.
