I’m glad people are finally realizing why leftists fought so hard for freedom of speech back in the early 20th century especially when ww1 was ongoing
unlike china, cuba, and north korea vietnam has adopted the economic policy of letting foreign firms own and operate with little oversight or party control so I will say I consider it bad and partially why I notice an ever increasing number of young vietnamese abandoning communist ideology
from my personal experience the need to collapse as you describe it stems moreso from the geopolitical position the societies of these liberal countries find themselves in moreso than the nature of their political ideology. it is in order to convince themselves of the need to continually take actions to protect their own interests and preferential position. I imagine it was probably pretty similar within nazi germany toward their opponents or within the soviet union against nazi germany. this is something I feel a lot of americans don’t exactly realize. anti-americanism is not as pervasive across the world as you may be led to believe and is definitely not at the same level of hate you’ll see with americans regarding china or other examples. this was especially weird to me when I first heard the song Eve of Destruction with the lyric “And think of all the hate there is in Red China” because the chinese really do not hate americans they just want to work together with them for mutual benefit. same sentiment was heard when putin gave his now famous interview with tucker carlson
I would say its in the interest of american workers to vote in trump to further the internal war amongst the capitalists there, divest away from the empire which is eating away at the american economy inside-out, and hopefully create a space to establish more working class organizations and capitalize on revolutionary conditions like january 6th
america would probably have not become the richest country in the world if it wasn’t one that was quite permissive of homelessness and institutionally speaking america is a very conservative country so it makes sense they haven’t done anything up to now to solve the issue. most things in america seem to be cemented in the norms the greatest generation set right after ww2. maybe there will be some change soon but I’m somewhat doubtful
I would say reddit is generally negative about the united states and positive about europe because its full of social democrats but the site as a whole buys the american empire apologetics wholesale (assad is evil, ukraine is good, russia is evil, israel is good, hamas is evil, taiwan is good, china is evil etc)
