There are certainly things we can improve in the imperial core but it would be a lie to say that the quality of life won’t go down for nearly everyone inside it. Let’s take the United States for example, ideally it should be broken up into multiple socialist republics, if nuclear weapons are used in the inevitable war that get us there parts of it that were formally populated will become not so. The thing with reactionaries is that yes we are a threat to their way of life, our empowerment will result in their disenfranchisement. And let me say that we do not want to create human suffering for even reactionaries, but a lot of people particularly the global south will want revenge and we are going to have to let them have it as a matter of practicality. What differentiates us from ultra leftists is we aren’t trying to have communism surpass christanity, capitalism, fascism, feudalism, and every other kind of societal system in terms of bodycount, we don’t want communism to be the most violent thing in human history, but ultra leftists do. The thing with posadists and nukes for example is that yes nukes can theoretically bring about the conditions necessary for communism but mainline communists like us don’t want nuclear war, we may joke about it, we might see it as an option in a fictional hypothetical, we may even relish the well earned suffering of the west because they deserve it, but we are not willing to tarnish communism with the deaths of billions to achieve our aims. Focus building socialism in your own home before you export it to others you know. That’s not to say there isn’t value to internationalism but socialism shouldn’t be exported from the imperial core. There’s a place to be aggressive, a place to be cruel, but overall we don’t want to be aggressive and cruel.
