Assuming that the left gets its shit together before Homo sapiens goes extinct.

My vote goes to either the USA or France. Especially because the Paris Commune already happened. “Smeagol did it once...he can do it again!” Paris seems to have been packed with rioters 24/7 for several years. Not so different maybe from the American Midwest. The ruling class is investing heavily in police in both countries. It’s afraid!

I know this seems partly delusional of me and that there is far more hope in the Global South unifying and then strangling the imperial core from the outside. But still, gun to your head, pick an imperial core country and explain how and why it will fall first. Marx, after all, predicted that socialism would come first to those places that had progressed along capitalist development the most. (Yes, you are invited to explain how wrong I am about this.) The USA falling to socialism would probably cause the rest of the planet to fall the same way.

edit: my choices seem embarrassing now, thank you for enlightening me comrades.

      Your militant left is vastly outnumbered and not even close. Also, say what you will about the US but in France, it's young people in their 20s and 30s who are the ones promoting fascism (look at polling, Le Pen is viable because of 20-40 year olds, who are workers, i.e. who should be the communists!!!). In the US, that's very much not the case, in fact it's the opposite (young adults make up the bulk of "the left"). We have nothing like Generation Identitaire - in fact, the right-wing movements in the US look to Europe to figure out how to recruit more young adults!

          We can play this game with the US too. We have militant unions that refused to transport protestors to jail. We have others that add racial justice to their strike demands. We had numerous examples of ~direct action~ helping people with food, fuel, etc during the pandemic. We had multiple autonomous zones set up throughout the country last summer.

          The facts on the ground are the support for the far right has rapidly increased among young people in France while the Left is splintering and losing support. Solidarity with you and your comrades because the next 2-4 years look pretty grim over there.
