The US Empire is absolutely the biggest obstacle for Socialism and Communism globally, and it is becoming more obvious that it is on its way to collapse.

american here. people always say “communism doesn’t work.” but it’s never been tried without US interference afaik. capitalism isn’t working too good for us over here rn, either.
USian here, Communism works exceptionally well considering constant Imperial siege from the US empire. It's pretty clear to me that it's the way forward, without Imperialist influence (like brutal sanctions and bombings) AES countries would have even better metrics, when they already have better metrics compared to Capitalist countries of similar development.
AES countries
What’re these?
Actually Existing Socialism. Cuba, Vietnam, the PRC, Laos, DPRK, the former USSR, etc.
Yes, those are definitely the best places to live. Especially compared to ugly capitalists states such as luxembourg or switzerland.
Considering Luxembourg and Switzerland are essentially landlords in country format, I don't think I'd feel happy knowing I was standing on the blood and sweat of workers in the Global South.
So you would be happier getting abused by authoritarian regimes in North Korea, for example? Weird flex but okay.
It indeed doesn’t work. Has been tried countless times. Whole eastern europe, North Korea, China and many more countries. It failed every single time because communism is a fundamentally broken system.
And please, don’t try to convince me that communism in the eastern bloc failed due to US.
If US is the biggest obstacle to communism worldwide, then god bless america lol
Not soon enough
America before communism
