        Here’s one possible scenario: In response to rising tensions, a U.S. president, imposes 100% tariffs on all goods from China. While the intention is to force a revival of domestic production, the U.S. cannot sustain the high labor costs needed to compete, leading to an economic collapse. China, meanwhile, maintains its production levels, redirecting exports to other nations and further solidifying its economic influence.

        Some Americans, desperate for change, travel to China to train as guerrilla fighters. These individuals return to the U.S., sparking a Cuban-style revolution aimed at overthrowing the capitalist system.

          By 2035, as China’s emissions peak and begin to decline, much of the world is in chaos. Other nations increasingly emulate China’s model, recognizing its stability compared to the contradictions of capitalism. China’s leadership, having studied the fall of the Soviet Union, is resolute in avoiding a similar fate, implementing policies to adapt and strengthen its system.

          Capitalism, on the other hand, is buckling under the weight of its inherent contradictions. The pursuit of endless growth on a planet with finite resources, coupled with deepening inequality and environmental collapse, makes its failure inevitable. As China’s approach gains global traction, the cracks in the capitalist framework become impossible to ignore.

      Please tell me that isn’t because you think that 99.9% of people will be wiped out in a nuclear war

        While a war seems inevitable with the way the U.S. is escalating tensions and fueling a new Cold War, I don’t believe it will be nuclear. The U.S. has long operated as a fascist nation under the guise of democracy, maintaining its global dominance through the exploitation and destabilization of the Global South. However, this dynamic is shifting as China’s expanding influence offers many nations an alternative to U.S. hegemony. Countries like Chile, which recently elected a progressive government, and others across Latin America, Africa, and Asia are moving toward policies rooted in social democracy or cutting ties with the U.S. altogether.

        On the other hand, figures like Javier Milei in Argentina serve as stark reminders of how capitalism fails the people it claims to empower. His policies and rhetoric, while appealing to the elites and global capital, have further exposed the inherent inequalities and failures of the capitalist system, sparking broader conversations about its viability. As more nations experiment with alternatives to U.S.-style neoliberalism, the cracks in the system grow more visible, paving the way for a potentially radical global shift.

        this is just one way there are so many more!
