If the unlikely event happens and we get a US revolution, pretty much everything is possible. UDSSR style would be neat.
Not sure Agent Orange is that fast at dismantling US power. I fear we will cycle back to "fascism and imperialism with hand brakes on" and maybe the next Repube-pres manages to steal enough of the countries wealth to tip the scale.
but their cold pragmatism feels very demoralizing.
The Soviet Union played the geopolitical game as well. Go look up who they were supporting in Ethiopia. Go look up who was the first country to officially recognize the Zionist entity (hint: it wasn't the US).
No. The average American Cranium is not capable of starting a revolution and an existing America will never let Soviet style communism prosper.
No.
The USSR was also pragmatic in its time. It was rarely uncompromising as you describe.
The modern world is build around US hegemony, so if a revolution happens in the US that completely changes all the prior assumptions that underpin China's model. There wouldn't even be a West to outcompete anymore. A lot of possibilities open up.
Very true...
Let's say revolution happens in the USA.
The world may be jaded but I don't think the left is jaded. And that's who has always created and run these political projects. Also I think it completely depends on who you're looking at. I think there is a "silent majority" of people who are absolutely ready for a positive global project. But nobody so far has the chutzpah to get it going.
hundreds of people have had said chutzpah over the years, they tend to get murdered by the united states.
we were gonna do it this weekend but we were one inflatable dinosaur costume short
It better be.
Why do you want USSR back if it was good only on a paper and in reality was a dictatorship slavery regime? And especially in the US? If you just want a communism union made from the USA states, then simply say so.
P. S. For those, who worship USSR like it was a God blessed thing(it was not), don't even bother to reply about it to me here. Just press dislike and move on. I don't want to discuss with you your obsession.
Someone remind me to ban this nerd in like 24 hours; in the meantime, feel free to laugh at their disassociation from reality (there were famously 200+ million slaves in the USSR)
LOL. Ban now. That is the only thing you can do except being ignorant child with a bit of power. Like, literally, why threaten to do something if you can do it? You don't like truth and don't have ability to comprehend it. And I do have ability to open your mind. So it is like a draw.
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.
we don't have a downvote
The USSR had serious flaws (it collapsed after all), but it made real and significant advancements over what came before, and what came after was a dramatic decline.
To contrast the US was built on slavery and still hasn't fully outlawed the practice. Turning the states into Soviet republics doesn't even make sense. If you're doing something like that, might as well redo the borders, and make sure native nations and minority groups get equitable representation.
Anyways we have an infographic that can give you a more detailed explanation of how the USSR actually functioned here: https://hexbear.net/PPB
Erm actually you can't challenge my dumbass opinions
Just press dislike and move on
