If Chile and Spain could escape fascist dictatorships which were sponsored by a thriving US, what makes you think a collapsing US with virtually no allies rightwing enough to help would succeed?
The US isn't magic. Capitalism can persist without the CIA's blessing. Just look at Russia, a country that as fully internalized the lessons of neoliberalism without tolerating a DC-based system of control.
I'd also look to Bad Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore. These countries use the institutional weight of wealthy well-recognized families and strong relationships with the local military to maintain control.
All of those countries were directly sponsored at birth by the US. Their most vulernable years, during civil war or following state collapse, were seen through by massive right wing allies. Who is going to sponsor the US right in forcefully reintegrating secessionist states?
