I think the greater emphasis is on the fact that China is not going to save us. If we are going to be saved, it will have to come from ourselves. Maybe its improbable we are going to be saved at all.
Saying we need an American Che is "great man of history"ing Che and the Cuban Revolution. In the past I said “we need an American Lenin” because I thought there isn’t any intellectual figure that can lead a party or revolution in the US. Im also probably wrong in stating that we “need an American Lenin”, and what we actually “need” is a theoretical understanding of how revolution can move forward in the US because that I don’t see. I don’t see a mass workers movement happening because the working class is just in disarray. It feels like we are in much different times than 1917 and even during the rise of fascism where there were semblances of class solidarity.
What shape would a revolution in the US take today?
