    Don’t get me wrong, I fully agree that america losing it’s imperial power is absolutely a good thing.

    No you don’t, you explicitly said that a more competent manager and maintainer of imperial power is better

      i also said in another comment that i don’t think that the trajectroy would have changed with a more intelligent capitalist at the top. It is still capitalism after all. Self destructive system with falling profit rates and all. I definitely didn’t want to imply that i want it to maintain its power for longer.

        Then you’re wrong completely. The effects of capitalism can absolutely be slowed down. They’ve been doing it for a century. And every time the US does it, the world suffers for it.

        Which is exactly why we need MAGA. We need people like Trump to collapse the US. Americans will suffer but its for the best. The world has to progress.

        The US regressed thr world by sacrificing millions of third worlders. If the price of global progress is a few thousand dead Americans, that’s a bargain
