The Status of SocIntern and where International Socialism goes from here.

SocIntern was supposed to be a project that propelled the Proletariat to new heights. Irregardless of country, the proletariat was supposed to be united and ready to fight. However, it seems that dream was short lived. SocIntern, or Socialist International for short was a short lived dream. It was supposed to act as a platform to support the Proletariat across the globe. However, that dream has died before it could awaken. As the fascists in Majatra look to strike down the Istalian Proletarian, and Baltusia has gone radio silent, the question is, what now? All that remains is Zardugal and Xsampa. Zardugul remains under constant threat from imperialism, and it paints a grim future for the international proletariat. Yet we know never to overestimate overwhelming odds or give into despair.
With SocIntern effectively dead, we stand at a crossroads. We can throw everything we have at imperialism, and fight to save our comrades in Istalia. Or, we can focus inward. In either situation, it is a grim prospect. Charge headfirst into a war that is no guarantee of victory, and puts the Proletariat on the line, or reject internationalism and isolate. Pessimists will tell you that it's either or. That both choices are the only ones available and that Xsampa will lose in the end. But when has pessimism ever lead to a victory? Whirlwinds of danger surround Xsampa and the international proletariat. But it doesn't mean it's the end. There is still yet a future for the international proletariat. While Istalia may be a grim tale, and Baltusia seemingly going dark, there lay hope with Zardugal. The collective defense of the proletariat lay in defending what few havens emerge. Therefore, it is imperative that defense with Zardugal is approached.
But then lay the second problem. Where does International Socialism go from here? SocIntern failed. Would another attempt fail? Maybe. Perhaps it would fail. But when we fall, we don't think we can never walk. We try again and end up walking through trial and error. Perhaps a smaller scale approach is needed. But what's clear is this. SocIntern failing will not be the end of our fight against fascism, against Yishelem, and against imperialism. However, international socialism is in a spot where serious discussions will need to be held. And this will take time, but perhaps we shall emerge better from it.
