      The imperial core imploding would at least open up possibilities for different types of development. The US has been the main actor working to destroy every socialist project. With them gone, and China becoming the new dominant power in the world, there will be far more room for socialist development.

        Wish I had your optimism. Removal of the hegemon won’t remove the reactionary regimes they’ve installed and/or supported - be it in Europe, Africa, or elsewhere. And it’s not like they will change their ways, more likely they’ll start competing with each other to see who’ll be the new local head honcho. And China won’t do anything about it. China is still trading with Israel and the like.

          It won’t remove them overnight, but they are only able to hold power because of the American backing. If you look at a history of any empire, when the core implodes, so does the periphery.

      Pathetically looking for a new boot to lick.
      There’s no country and population I have less respect for than this sad spineless bunch.
      And that’s the nicest thing I can say about them since I get banned here for calling them what they are.

        you got banned because you are a reactionary who needs to read more marxism, clearly. you insulted me and my country, even though i am a comrade, because you have a weird fixation with labelling everyone as the same. marxism isn’t about internationalist hate. even people in the imperial core suffer and are oppressed,

        I would like to ask you to say some words to the American people about anything you want. Please, in English.

        I feel the best wishes for the people of the United States. Every time when I know a new American always I have the reason to try to understand your people and I think that every time too. I find that the Ameri­cans, the newspaper, the worker, the tech­nician are wonderful people. Really. I ap­preciate and admire the people of the United States for what they have achieved in tech­nician, in science and because I see that you, your people, is a people well working, is an honest and idealistic people. Clearly that are my feelings, my sincere feeling to the people of the United States. I hope in the future we will understand better and we will be friends.
