So: there is a high possibility of a global economic collapse in the next 10 years (or weeks). There are more and more fronts of systemic instability, and global supply chains are simultaneously very very long and very very skinny (without the redundancies of healthy networks). 
If it happens, national govts will have to intervene in some capacity. This could be as extreme as a full mobilization of the emergency management paradigm, w/ military in the streets and govt distribution of essential supplies/direction of production & distribution.
In most places, we're not currently strong enough to oppose this directly, although experiences show we will have a great capacity to develop mutual aid initiatives more effective than the govt survival infrastructure.
We need to drive home that capitalism is a failed system and that govts are not as capable as we are at taking care of basic needs. We need to expand our ability to defend mutual aid networks, and up our game for taking over and running useful infrastructure.
We also need to account for the white supremacist distribution of productive infrastructures on a global scale. This means that countries in the Global South are much more dependent on global supply chains and they have less useful infrastructure they could potentially socialize.
We need to increase our ability to contemplate mutual aid, survival, and expropriations on a global scale rather than let our friends and comrades in the Global South die off in the face of a collapse.
