Means to an end, got it. So be it, If things end up as bad as you seem to predict I hope you can rebuild something from the smoldering ashes. I’ll still try my hand at organized resistance.
No? I do org work IRL for the purpose of establishing socialism. Being happy that the empire is losing its iron grip on the world doesn’t mean I try to make things worse to do so.
It’s like you’re intentionally taking the most bad-faith reading possible.
You’re right I conflated your opinions with those I have argued with the past on ML and for that I apologize.
However, If you think this ends when America dies that’s wishful thinking, the oligarchy is as comfortable in Russia, India or Brazil as it is in America and they seem to be shifting as they see the writing on the wall.
None of those 3 countries have the finance capital required to replace the US Empire. What makes the US Empire unique is its total hegemony. Europe comes close financially, but doesn’t have the hard power to keep that going when the US Empire falls.
I think it could, look how rapidly China industrialized, how rapidly India industrialized, when given a centralized power structure and lack of regulations It’s been shown to be possible. Now it wouldn’t happen overnight which is why I believe it’s already underway and why they’re investing so heavily in destabilizing Germany, The UK and India.
I believe by migrating their capital to European defense contractors and advancing far right policy they are readying an escape hatch
India is lagging far behind China, the reason China developed so rapidly is due to their socialist market economy. By having strong central planning, and public ownership of the large firms and key industries, while allowing limited private and foreign capital for secondary and small/medium industries. As a consequence of this structure, it is neither imperialist nor driven to imperialism. These other countries you speak of cannot replicate China’s success without adopting socialism anyways, which prevents the drive to imperialism.
So, if I understand you correctly you’re asserting that the dissolution of the American power structure would disallow oligarchy for asserting centralized control and would force them to have a much smaller sphere of influence as is seen with Russian and The Saudi Arabian Oligarchs?

That wouldn’t be true for long when they migrate their capital as we’ve seen already happening with recent market ripples.
How so? Finance capital doesn’t shift that quickly, nor does industrial capacity.
