I’ll be upfront about my ideological priors: I’m broadly aligned with the American right and sympathetic to MAGA (woopiedoo, a dime a dozen, even in this site) politics. That said, my view of international order is explicitly multipolar, not universalist. I don’t think one model of governance, economics, or social organization should dominate the entire world.
A useful analogy is multiplayer videogames. When servers were community-run, you had diverse rule sets, norms, and cultures. Once everything moved to centralized, corporate-run servers, that diversity collapsed into a bland, lowest-common-denominator experience. I think something similar has happened at the global level: increasing centralization around a single liberal-capitalist model has produced ideological homogenization rather than genuine pluralism.
I understand the need for a Yugoslavia and USSR and North Korea and Cuba and so and so on the world.
Leftists and libs approach is kinda silly and retarded where everywhere at any point should be the same. The peak of humanity was when there was a space race and different communities tried to out-do each other for a single objective and the current stagnation of humanity is black-pilling.
My proposed solution is straightforward: real diversity, not cosmetic diversity. That means genuinely different systems of governance, economic organization, and social policy coexisting and competing. Capitalism versus alternatives. Liberal democracy versus other models. Let outcomes, not moral universalism, do the sorting.
I like the US just fine as a place where you spawn by default and then build your way to something else, but not actually as the rule of the world.
Autocratic or semi-autocratic states complicate the usual narrative by demonstrating that a country can remain internally functional and socially livable while explicitly rejecting U.S. ideological leadership. Russia, for example, illustrates that alignment with the American-led order is not a prerequisite for state capacity, social continuity, or geopolitical agency.
TL;DR: Multipolarity and systemic competition are essential for human progress. A unipolar, ideologically uniform world is a monopoly and monopolies stagnate. If we want real global competition, we need competing systems, not enforced convergence.
