What it says in the title the communist international in its inception used to be able to do amazing things like the international brigade so why arent AES countries rushing to establish replacements?

    I think the model was tested and found to be faulty. For all the good the com intern did there are plenty of cases where it chose the wrong path and made things worse.

    There have been several attempts. What number are we on now, 4? 5? On hexbear we joke about the 27th International sometimes. The issue with all these modern ones is infighting causes splintering, and then we get another international.

      Imo (as someone who starts local groups for commies) it is insanely important (as lenin said I believe) to keep democratic centralism and kick everyone out who will not adhere to it. Trotzkist “freedom of critique” is cancer that derails and stalls any movement. Also people who join need to help, if they dont, they can go. This is very hard to do nowadays as evevyone is so primed on “number go up” and “relevancy”.

      Thats just my current opinion from forming local groups.

        Organize, join a party, even a union if you can, and help your community. That is how you fight back. Picking up a gun to go and die in Spain didn’t make much of a difference back in the day, and it isn’t enough today either. For every heroic socialist volunteer fighting to bring about revolution overseas, there should be thousands back home building it in their own society.
