I haven’t made a post regarding this in a while, so I guess I’ll make another to get an updated version of our thoughts.
When will the US fall? How do I help make it happen? Will it?
I’ve been thinking a little bit about the future of the United States and the world as a whole and believe that the U.S. must fall before it and the rest of the imperial core can make any meaningful systemic change (and the end to imperialism, brutal capitalist wars, and any potential solutions to climate change).
With that being a prerequisite for a socialist change and a better world, my question remains - how the fuck is that going to happen? When will it happen? Will it naturally collapse due to contradictions in capitalism? Or is there going to have to be hope of a socialist revolution? If it’s the latter, I have very little hope, assuming it requires the American populous to do it. Maybe when more people’s conditions worsen there will be a larger sense of revolutionary activity but with what I’ve been seeing around my area and online it is just status quo liberal “vooot” garbage that will lead us straight to destruction.
Our political actors and capitalist rulers seem hell-bent on destroying the world to keep their great lives while the rest of us wither away. Our ruling class is so powerful, what are we supposed to do? Is there any chance of a revolution? Do we have to hope and pray that Xi and other AES states will liberate us or just wait til the bombs start flying and the sea levels eat up Florida before we finally have a chance to boot this shit?
A lot of this might be just incoherent rambling, I don’t know. I’m stressed out so my apologies. Thanks for reading this far if you did.
I don’t think the US will ever truly “fall.” It will just continue to degrade into absolute fascism. There’s not going to be some overnight earth shattering break. The “international community” will just continue to distance themselves from it. We definitely aren’t there yet. If anything I think all this Ukraine shit from the west has been the empires “test” to see who’s still loyal to them. The emperor presented their foot to see who would still kneel down and kiss it. Who would sacrifice their civilians for the kings favor. All of Europe bent the knee it seems. Some of the “3rd world” as the media would call it did turn away. So there’s that.
