comrade, the socialist revolution solves the main problems of capitalism. Socialism is our main goal to transit towards communism.
The death of the United states would allow a complete freedom of the communist ideals. The propaganda centre and fortress of capitalism would die, and socialist movements would pop up all over the globe. With the main idiots in the west broken, or themselves socialist, then we can start fixing all these issues. Climate change, colonialism, the lot of it. Of course I realize it won't be perfect, but it will undoubtedly be better.
I wish I still believed that. But it requires a great deal of faith, and it's a bit cavalier to destabilize all of human civilization without hard evidence that communism will actually work.
Enlightenment thinkers espoused a similar level of faith in the transformative power of free trade and democracy, as opposed to mercantilism and monarchy. It was indeed a transformative power, but it arguably took us even further away from our ideal society.
Everybody and their mother knows capitalism is flawed, but the viability of communism is still very much an open question. I personally think it's worth a shot, but having blind faith that it will definitely be better is a bridge too far for me. As soul crushing as capitalism is, we also tend to take for granted all the problems it does do a good job solving, because we have never experienced any other social system.
