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.

    These feelings are valid, but ultimately stem from a lack of theory. You don’t need to worry about convincing people capitalism is bad, if people’s material conditions aren’t in a place for them to be susceptible to such ideas. Further, reading theory better helps you explain why capitalism is unsustainable. The US is the number one block, but as imperialism crumbles the chance for revolution raises. We must organize the working class to do so.

    Read theory! You’ll be happier for it.
