    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!
