    I should need to remind you what happened when the Weimar system collapsed, and it did so in an environment of much stronger left opposition than currently exists across the west. Fascism is far more likely than any idea on the left, followed by ww3 waged against the enemies of the existing system. I’m really not confident in what will emerge after the nuclear hell.

      It’s obviously a volatile situation, but there are many possibilities other than a nuclear holocaust as well. The west is largely deindustrialized now greatly limiting its ability to wage any sort of war against peer competitors. The internal economic situation is also becoming increasingly volatile which is more likely to result in civil unrest than any sort of a unified front against China. Even the capitalist class is largely divided on this given how many companies are now dependent on China. Personally, I choose to remain optimistic and deal with problems as they come. There are never any guarantees in life, but all we can do is try and work towards a world that we want to live in.
