    At this point, I’m convinced that US imploding internally would be the best thing for the rest of the world. The alternative is looking more and more like a world war. Collapse of the empire would also be the final nail in the coffin of global capitalism meaning that we’ll actually have a path towards addressing climate change.

      The US collapsing would help but we do have to contend with oligarchical Russia and State Capitalist China.

      We have to take down authoritarian systems everywhere.

        The US has 800+ overseas military bases, and is currently bombing ~ 8 countries. Who’s “authoritarian” again?

        I’ll suggest that people should focus on fixing their own countries. This idea that over a billion people in China need to be told how to live is chauvinist in the extreme.

      Vote right to go left? o.O

      But in all seriousness, yeah, if they get internally fucked up and have to deal with that they will have less time deal with external conflicts and will lose power in international politics, which is a breath of fresh air.
