i wish i shared your optimism, but i atleast don’t doubt that it will happen eventually.
my pessimism is fueled by my proximity to the developments of us empire’s recent successes in doubling down in latin america and it predicts that a socialist dominating world hegemony will come after a time when the planet is on man-made life support after most of the high profit resource depletion activities have wrought their havoc on the environment and throngs of climate refugees flood the world like it did in the bronze age collapse.
Your fears are valid, of course, but I genuinely think that the violent flailing of the US Empire that is going on right now is out of desparation, and won’t actually work out. It will be messy, though.
No, that’s just an incompetent despot calling the shots. There is enough money and momentum in the US that everyone better fucking hope a more competent piece of shit doesn’t take power when Tacoman dies.
That’s not what I said. I didn’t say they’re self-sufficient. I said they have the momentum to royally fuck shit up on the way down, especially if someone remotely competent starts pulling the strings.

Nah, the world is dedollarizing and the US Empire doesn’t have the industry to keep going.

It will certainly be messy, I agree.
