Internationalist Brigades and such

[ВАЛТЕР]

Are there any such things anymore? Are there any groups out there which are organized and willing to recruit, train, and travel to help fight against capitalism, imperialism, fascism, and other threats to the working people?

Just wondering whether or not such things even exist anymore.

No.

The best organisation to fight capitalism, imperialism and fascism is a united industrial working class - not a band of armed, politically conscious socialists.

FARC, etc. do not fight against capitalism. They fight against the forces of the bourgeoisie for sure, but they do absolutely nothing in the way of abolishing the mode of production that is capitalism. This is a task only workers can undertake, by virtue of their special position in bourgeois society.

I think it would be ultimately more advantageous to everyone if you rejected military conflict outright as an appropriate (if even possible) means of overthrowing capitalism.

the "internationalist" brigades were a product of its times and specific historic conditions. this was a time when the putrefied "communist" parties were organized under the moscow leadership and as such had a lot of discipline and resources, because moscow was a large geopolitical player and fascism was the geopolitical enemy of moscow. those conditions don't exist anymore.
