      I doubt a soviet-style union of American republics would feature any of the iconography of the 1776-1789 bourgeois revolution, or would even exist if the US-American working class actually fought to won the revolution somehow were still scared of the "blood red" color featured prominently in most socialist flags. Attempting to design a realistic socialist "USSA" flag borders on utopian speculation when we don't yet know what material conditions or geopolitics are going to look like when the revolution is finally won throughout at least most of the continent. There's an abundance of uncertainties about the specific material details - including really important questions like whether Indigenous and First Nations peoples form independent states or join the union as autonomous enclaves - that would likely be reflected in such a flag design. As Lenin observed in State and Revolution, Marxists shouldn't spend much time on this sort of idle guesswork and speculation, and can only start fleshing out the details scientifically after major historical developments happen to give them the empirical data they need for such analysis.

          Didn't mean to be such a buzzkill. Historical fanfiction is a fun thought experiment but there are still a lot of possible outcomes that might escape your imagination and can't easily be captured in simulations like grand strategy games.

        I agree with everything you said, but also I want to have some fun with it

      it should be 13 stars for the remaining 13 states of the USSA after land is given back to the first nations people and Hawaii gains independence
