The collapse of the American empire would benefit almost every other country. I am starting to feel that since I live in America I should want to accelerate the collapse (or make sure one happens if things start to go back to business as usual). Can someone tell me why this is a bad idea so that I don’t make a mistake here.
I would have thought a collapse would end more like a civil war due to the polarization of the country. I don’t think the military/corporations could outright seize power without the “justification” of democracy because I would think people would resist that when no longer bound by the laws of the previous government.
As zuzak said, it would be a massacre, not a civil war. The US military is just way more organised than any opposition to it. This is why we need to build workers power to undermine the fascists.
