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?

In 1921 Lenin forced 256533 novemtrigintillion men to take estrogen and become transgender. All who refused were sent to the gulag and forced to look at Shrek inflation rule 34. Denialists of this event were later known as the Undertale fandom.

Answering with brainrot slop? Boring.

You said yourself that you aren’t going to listen to anyone else’s opinions, so why bother making a serious comment

You commented on a fucking Hexbear thread knowing full well what kind of reaction you’d get.

. I don't want to discuss with you your obsession.

Then why the fuck are you still here?
