>It is unique because it essentially cannot be invaded,I doubt that, but it will balkanize anyway from its own internal contradictions. It's really 50 small countries in an unstable relationship. Also there are so many diaspora communities now (largely as a byproduct of American imperialism) driving internal changes to the culture of each state. This is why you have supremacist reactionaries coping and seething about Somalis in Minneapolis and Muslims in Dearborn. They want everything to stay WASP forever, but it won't. America might not get "invaded" militarily but it will change from within and is not a stable unchanging entity.
> it cannot suffer from the same sort of crises that have plagued the rest of the world.It can. America isn't some invulnerable thing. It can be bombed, sanctioned, couped, and embargoed just like it has done to other countries. But much more likely, is it instead will suffer from crises it has brought on itself, and in fact it already is.
> America must be destroyed to overthrow the present system, and America must be destroyed from within if it is to be destroyed at all. America is destroying itself daily and will continue to be destroy itself because America is its own gravedigger. America is a suicidal entity, but it is also a changing entity.
>The VAST majority of Americans will oppose the destruction of the American state, but it doesn't matter.They will "oppose it" in sentiment but carry it out in deed, whether they realize it or not. Someone posted a clip of a reactionary saying that the American regime must be destroyed. Yet he also says "America First." It seems we are reaching a point where both reactionaries and revolutionaries yearn for America's downfall, and only reformists and conservatives want to maintain the stability of the existing system despite its inherently self-destructive tendencies.
>We have to do it anyway. We might have 20% of the population on our side, if we're lucky. Please, it's more like 5%. But it doesn't matter anyway, because even the reactionaries, who are a much larger camp, will blunder their way into destruction. Nothing destroys a nation faster than its reactionary nationalists, as we saw with Ukraine recently, and Nazi Germany less recently. They make enemies of everyone and are too incompetent to manage all the fights they start.
>But if we can at least erode the authority of the government to such a point where it must abandon Imperialism and focus it's energy inwards, we have won the war.This has been happening in slow motion for decades. America used to do things like the Korean and Vietnam war. It used to pull off coups in countries like Iran and Indonesia. Lately failure rate of American coup attempts is much higher than its success rate, and even its succesfull coup in Bolivia was quickly rolled back. China is bailing third world countries out of their IMF debt, undermining America's structural adjustment programs that it imposes on the periphery. America's flriting with an invasion of Venezuela, and I suspect that it will be a catastrophic failure and huge embarassment. America is still capable of doing a lot of damage, but it is severely weakened, and its internal politics are more unstable than ever.
> Neo-liberal capitalism would collapse and fall apart. This would allow us to BEGIN the process of organizing the majority of the people to our cause, but America MUST be destroyed first.I think it will be destroyed internally either way.
It's just a question of whether reactionaries or revolutionaries are better organized in the aftermath.
