One thing is certain: America will collapse.

Capitalism is not sustainable. Why? Capitalism requires infinite growth, and infinite growth is unsustainable within a finite universe.

In the same way that infinite growth is unsustainable within a finite universe, infinite growth is unsustainable within a single country. This is the reason for Imperialism: to exploit other countries, to (temporarily) hold off the inevitable collapse of the infinite growth assumption.

America may try to colonize and exploit other planets (this is probably the leading reason on the focus on the colonization of Mars) to (temporarily) hold off the inevitable collapse further, but it will eventually collapse.

As Mao said (paraphrasing), Capitalism may last for 10 more years (current trajectory lmao), 100 more years (in the event that the Americans defeat and absorb the remaining anti-Imperialist governments of China and Russia), 10,000 more years (in the event that the Americans discover interplanetary travel and colonization before collapsing), or even 10,000,000 more years (in the event that the Americans discover intersolar travel and colonization before collapsing, god forbid), but it will eventually collapse.

I know that this isn't the most optimistic take on the future, but it is a materialist analysis that will hopefully be an acceptable response to this post.
