By this, I mean spreading awareness that the U.S. is a settler-colonial state that exploits other colonized parts of the world, and that this reality is at the root of why we're living in this broken capitalist system. To free ourselves from capitalism, we'll need to carry out an anti-colonial revolution. One that works in solidarity with socialist states like China, Cuba, the DPRK, and Vietnam, which have long been under attack to various degrees by U.S. imperialism.
This crisis is making all of these things abundantly clear. China has all but defeated the virus due to its socialized healthcare system, Cuba has only a few dozen Covid-19 cases because of its socialized healthcare system and unique anti-viral medicine, Vietnam is handling it similarly, and the DPRK has barely been in contact with the virus so far. China and Cuba in particular are taking the lead in sending medical assistance to other countries. At the same time, the United States is letting the virus explode among its citizens due to its neoliberal healthcare system, using sanctions to block medical resources from the people of Venezuela and Iran, and slipping into a depression in contrast to the relative economic resilience of the socialist nations.
It's getting clearer to a lot of people that capitalism isn't the system we need, and it's clear to those who pay attention that socialism, specifically Marxism-Leninism, is the solution that can save society from the catastrophe we're facing. If you're a U.S. resident who's committed to the cause of proletarian revolution, your job is to utilize the present conditions as best you can towards developing the class struggle in your country.
