Many of the participants in the bloc are ruled by reactionary, authoritarian, even fascist regimes, lacking any serious initiative in challenging the global framework of capitalism. Should socialist and progressive forces in these countries abandon any expectation from the project? Or is there a possibility of greater coordination between the working classes in these countries?
