The USSR failed much earlier.

And the US was studying psychics as late as the 2000s.

Stalin was leading before WW2.

Because he was a senior leader during the Russian Civil War.

We will see how successful American leadership is if they manage to contain China.

What do you even think that looks like at this point? They are the single largest and most productive export economy in human history, and we're their biggest customer.

if they manage to end up with an AI that controls the world

Oh no, you're one of those...

For context

But because we’re swimming in US propaganda, we keep getting told “Russia Bad, America Good!” on a loop. That scares us away from any kind of rational analysis, on the grounds that questioning the status of the US is some kind of assault on American society.

I think socialists don't try to figure out why they are not winning. So there are the people in that above mentioned loop of US propaganda, but the people outside are in another.

What's your point? Have you read the article? The crushed potential by 'existing socialism' ministers is in my opinion no less than the success of the USSR itself.

The USA did stupid stuff with an abundance of resources. The USSR blew their future by not doing crucial things. That's the opposite.

What do you even think that looks like at this point?

Same as Japan, leave them as a stagnant economy that supplies the world.

Oh no, you’re one of those…

Those who believe that AI is possible?
