  • Outside of the concept of a socialist America, this is the type of America I can see existing at least “equal on the world stage” with China, BRICS, etc., without its imperial hegemony for a time period (whether a century or a relatively short few decades who knows).

    It’s hard right wing, still capitalist, but can at least negotiate and trade with other countries, allowing the contradictions within itself to build up. Polarity between the classes in America would still be increasing and driving the class conflict eventually to resolution.

    But these kinds of anti imperial voices do not have much volume in the mainstream at all. I believe these far right types are those who see the writing on the wall with the neoliberal economic model and because of their own class interests still believe in capitalism as the best system.

    Once America really starts to lose its imperial holdings and fully loses to China, this may be the type of economics that America goes through.

    Waah BRICS waah Putin waah mafia waah democracy

    They genuinely believe their own propaganda. This is actually a good thing because it means the western ruling class and the not-very-intelligentsia is becoming increasingly stupid. Simply having a superior ideology, one that is based in materialism, is such a massive advantage for socialists in the long run.

    You can’t have people like that dude running your countries and expect to outsmart China 🤣


  • It endlessly amazes me how stupid libs are. You have economist Jeffrey Sachs the architect of the failed shock therapy who was front row for the post USSR Russia on what must be hundreds of interviews in the past two years now explaining in plain words that the US never ever once intended for Russia to be an equal or even to join NATO.



  • All options are fine so long as there is reliable public transportation in the city, and it’s walkable. If not then I believe the village and rural options are superior on account of not having terrible traffic (in most cases). So really most American cities are pretty terrible places to live. The big American cities have firmly fallen behind contemporary places in Europe and Asia and imo it’s not even close. Hard to say the country is livable unless you’re labor aristocracy and above and that realization is really the only reason I’m coming around to going back to school.
