It is interesting to see a reverse of the Soviet situation where it's the Communist country with the "blue jeans" and a capitalist one missing out on them.

For sure, we're basically leaving through the reverse of USSR collapse here. China is rapidly outpacing US economically, it dwarfs US industrial base, and it's now pushing the bleeding edge of technology. Meanwhile, US is having compounding social and economic problems internally while being mired in forever wars around the globe.

Waiting for that moment where three military dudes meet in the middle of a field to illegally dissolve the country for personal benefits. Only this time it's gonna be better for humanity.

Instead of Eastern Europe turning into a bunch of dysfunctional capitalist countries, you get North America turning into a bunch of highly functional socialist ones. Texas will be our version of Belarus, hanging on to a bunch of capitalist systems in defiance of the trend.
