I'm talking a level of control that would make the liberal conception of Stalin blush.
Context? Material conditions? Up to you. Maybe you just finished leading the revolution to victory, maybe you got :vote:d into this position, maybe you just woke up in another timeline, I don't care
Implement The 1936 Constitution of the Soviet Union, with minor edits to better tailor it to the American condition.
Probably degrade the states into prefectures and reorganize groups of them into regional socialist republics based on their former interconnectedness to each other as states.
Probably collaborate with the native tribes to reclaim regions of their homelands with the option for full independence and national autonomy at their democratic decision. Hopefully they'd be willing to stay in the union as autonomous regional socialist republics.
The black Americans of America are to be given the democratic choice to either choose to form an autonomous regional socialist Republic in what is commonly known as the "black belt" with the option to democratically vote for full independence and national autonomy, or to continue pushing for full integration into American society.
The Chicago's of America are to be given the democratic choice to either choose to form an autonomous regional socialist Republic in the region they commonly reside in with the option to democratically vote for full independence and national autonomy, or to continue pushing for full integration into American society.
Help the communists of Mexico and Canada in their fight for liberation of their countries in order to deny Capital a doorstep on the home of the Resurgent Revolution. Offer the peoples of Mexico and Canada to join as socialist republics or fully support their countries should they choose to maintain their national autonomy.
Assuming the spooks don't have basement nukes to destroy all of their archives and information, seize everything and start airing out the nightmarish skeletons in the U.S's closet, and utilize any strategic information for the benefit of the revolutionary cause.
Open a west-wing theme park dedicated to letting all the libs and hogs continue their theater performances for the entertainment of the masses. Ensure both Trump and Biden have their own white houses to pontificate from and continue all the stupid harmless traditions to their hearts content. Call the theme park "The tale of Two Americas"
Constitutions in socialist countries come about through processes of mass consultation with the people, with suggestions from the people incorporated into the final draft. Bluntly importing a nearly hundred year old constitution with minor edits won't work at all.
This, absolutely. I should have had this in my response.
That 85 year old document is infinitely better than any constitution the West has produced. Using it as the foundation to a modern American constitution would progress the rights and material conditions of the workers to a degree not seen since the emancipation proclamation
Just because something is old does not mean it is antiquated.
Nothing you said negates my point. Regardless of how great the Soviet constitution was, the process of forming a new socialist American constitution can't simply be copying it with minor alterations. It can be presented to the American peoples as a potential model, but it's up to them to accept or reject it, and to form a constitution based on a democratic process of mass consultation.
You're being needlessly debatebroist right now and I really don't like it
I'm sorry if I came off as attacking you. I don't mean to upset you.
Sorry for snapping, the forced overtime I've been on has been getting me really frayed lately.
This feels like one unnecessary step. Divide the US based on pre colombian states, adapt where people have been displaced.
That's a non-marxist take. Stringent censuses need to take place to minimize disruptions to the supply chain while eliminating the artificial state culture. Additionally considerations must be taken from the living native groups according to their needs and not according to old maps.
If for example the Lakota tribes vote to be restored to their historical homeland whereas the Siox tribes vote to stay on the reservations, then you would be indeed fulfilling the desires of one people but would be ignoring another.
This is to say the discussion of the native question is not your nor my business beyond cooperating and supporting the native peoples decisions to the best of our ability.
:wut:
What is problem?
