It appears to me that the complete deindustrialization of the imperial core is a historical arc that, since 1973, has been more or less unstoppable. The question is, if a socialist world revolution were to happen in the near future, and they basically established JDPON, how would it be possible to reindustrialize the former imperialist nations without relying on exploiting the former periphery countries? The actual productive capacity has been decimated.
I don't think industrialization requires exploitation, that's just a cheat code that imperialists use to develop at a rate that allows them to maintain the illusion of stability in the core. The West will just have to go back to being a poor backwater and build up their shit honestly this time.
That's definitely true, but exploitation free industrialization is close to unprecedented. There's a good reason the USSR had to adopt the NEP.
The USSR also had to play catch up with empire to maintain an effective resistance. Organic development is slower, but that's how you develop culture and arts. Which is what the west really needs to spend its time on. We'll just import high quality Chinese goods for a couple of centuries while America becomes an afro indigenous commune and the Irish teach the rest of Europe the concept of having a good time.
