I wonder when people will realise how fucked they are despite being seemingly not involved in the war. A day before the war started a liter of gas cost 1.47 euro here. Now it is at 1.84. Nearly 40 cents more. Energy prices are skyrocketing as well and it will take people some time to notice. But they will notice. And then what? Blame immigrants again I guess.
Although the coming crisis does pose the risk you mention –that capital instigates even more hate to deflect the increasing revolutionary pressure away from itself and unto scapegoats–, it also represents a historic opportunity –to develop international class consciousness, to organize and mobilize– that we should try to seize.
I think this is a critically important point. The contradictions of capitalism are becoming clearer and more and more folks will awaken to them as the situation deteriorates. It’s important that we do our best to prepare the ground now. If things go the way they seem to be going this will be a fantastic opportunity to disrupt and oppose the forces of global capitalism.
