Is a new USSR possible? (hexbear.net)

~~oh boy another post for speculating about the future~~

Let's say revolution happens in the USA. How do things end up? Obviously, the ideal is essentially a second USSR. But is that possible? I worry that the world today is too jaded to repeat such an optimistic project. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to bash China or the Chinese model, and I know their strategy is based on their material conditions and trying to outcompete the West, but their cold pragmatism feels very demoralizing. I want a state uncompromisingly committed to workers' rights, the world revolution, and building communism, complete with a supranational proletarian union, but I'm worried that such a thing could never happen in the modern world.

What are you people's thoughts?
