We can draw parallels with the interbellum period. The rotten liberal European regimes trying to appease brooding fascism (be it Nazi Germany or the disunited ssnakkkess of crackmerikkka), letting the rabid dogs of imperialism get away with more and more ridiculous demands, every state on the way to the Bastion of Communism (the USSR or PRC) falling like dominoes (Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bolgaria/Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Venezuela) but in the end, wars are not decided by vibes and shit, by flashes and thunders, wars are not decided by kidnapping figure-heads, but by the capacity of industrial production. And when it comes to that, the US is doomed to lose.
The emperor is fully naked. It is always darkest before dawn, Minerva's owl flies only at dusk.
>>2700395Also, unlike the last time, communist power is not politically isolated
>>2700395we'll just live in ww1 hellworld except without communism instead of bretton-woods hellworld. at the moment the most realistic assessment is still that it's over and nothing good ever happens
>>2700409huge cope
>>2700429We'll probably return to the 19th century, with caudillos and local strongman leaders who are open about their ambitions and aims, but with a cruder form of nationalism compared to the Nazi era.
>>2700429>we'll just live in ww1 hellworldNo, we don't. Behead those who insist China is imperialist.
"Imperialism" will always exist because the left needs it as a cope/excuse for why the vast majority of the working class has never supported the communist project.
>Imperialism is over
Uyghur have you been living under a rock?
>>2700518you don't understand. You watching Nazi Germany prepare to go up against the USSR. Whatever happens in between, this has already been decided on. USA loses to China. Imperialism is over.
>>2700471the cope for that is "false consciousness", not imperialism
>>2700471>why the vast majority of the working class has never supported the communist project.1/6 of the world's population lived under communist projects at its peak, and that was the first time communism tried the whole "international proletarian dictatorship" thing.
>>2700537False consciousness is not cope
