This is exactly what it's going to take for the USA to lead a coalition of the West to fight a world war against China and the rest of the anti-imperialists
Given how fragile the political situation in the west is already, I can't imagine that further austerity to fund more wars is going to go down well.
Doing underestimate the depravity of the North Atlantic, a civilization built entirely on fear
Material conditions have primacy though. The abstract fear of Russia has to compete with tangible inability to put food on the table.
Need I point you to WW2 and the failure of Comintern to convince any meaningfully powerful movement in Western Europe to adopt revolutionary defeatism?
Sure, but we're not talking about Europe becoming communist here. What's happening is that we're seeing rise of nationalism and a slide towards fascism. What I expect to happen is that the neoliberal centre is going to collapse, and the EU will split back into individual states that are going to be doing ladder pulling. NATO is entirely incompatible with that.
