Am I a doomer? (lemmygrad.ml)

When I see growing nationalism in Europe and the whole world, climate being fucked up, what will create a migration catastrophe and wars, rich becoming richer and poor getting poorer, I think the world is burning and going to a catastrophe, and there is too late for a world revolution. World is already in fire and angry people will go to the far right and nazi instead build communism. China will not save the world since in my opinion it becomes nationalist and focused on making private money; it is just the least disgusting of the main players. It is not Deng Xiaoping's China anymore. The fucking world will burn soon. I do not see a reason why bring children into this world and actually live here. Is there a light of hope?

Comrade, your concerns are true and your wishes for a better future are genuine. However myself I can't but look at your writing and think to myself "How am I not concerned by that", truly it's a question that bothers me now and one I'll look to answer some day.

How can I knowing all of these horrible things and not plunge into a sea of depression? I think the answer is revolutionary optimism even if I'm not 100% sure of it.

The rise of nationalism concerns me also, but I've seen a reaction to it even if mostly on the internet. More Polish sounding nicknames on TheDeprogram subreddit, seven Polish people on Lemmygrad; it all may seem so little, but compared to all the users here we are an existing minority. One which is easily recognizable, and who knows how many people will become radicalized due to this right wave in Politics? I've seen it myself in my friends who've not read anything of political theory, and yet they start to go further left without my input; I just push them there a little bit more.

The world is on fire, and that is due to capitalists ravaging the planet. We might say that a radical reaction to all of these horrors will happen too late, but I think that will happen just in time. The worsening of conditions will continue until it is no longer bearable for those that are suffering from them and we might see the beginning of something great.

You know that before 1917 there was 1905, and before that even more organizing and we are in those times before 1905. I can only say it is our duty to educate and organize, even if our work begins here as 7 idiots on a commie link aggregator forum. China is not our messiah, they are only here to help us after we cross the river of revolution and we must first start moving towards that river. We could help other principled leftists get to move there.

Myself I'm young, just got into my 20s, I've got a lot ahead of me. I'm scared for my family, I don't know how things will go for them and for me so I devote myself to spend my time with them however best I can now. I don't want to bring children into this world because I don't think I'll be a good father, hell I think a child would be a hindrance for me and the work I want to do. I don't want to neglect a kid like that.

If you'd like to help me on a certain project I'm working on, please contact me on Tox, please DM me for my ToxID. The project itself is only in conceptual stages now, but I've got people on board with it and maybe you could help. It won't start immediately, and will require time to prepare but we can make something with it.
