They don't need to. What they've done with high speed rail in 15 years makes me want to cry. They built an entire national HSR network since the great recession. America is such a fallen empire.

That's the power of Socialism at play, when Humanity flips the power of Capital over Humanity on its head and becomes the master of Capital, it can achieve great things. Massive infrastructure projects and rapid development are just one aspect of this process, and the US would do well to follow in the footsteps of the Socialist countries to produce along a common plan. The obstacle, of course, is revolution, but rather than being impossible or easy, the truth is that revolution is just hard work.

I had a visualization of trump being elected.

Pure chaos and destruction. I compared it to a burning forest.

Its not bad that the forest burned down to ashes. The ash helps the new plants to grow a new Forest. A beautifuly reset.

I hope this kinda happens for America, because its a shit show there with lifelong debts and pure capitalism sucking every Human out, only for a single CEO to enjoy his own life more.

Trump, in my view, is merely another stage in the collapse of a dying Empire. He will not be the last, nor the cause, but is merely a reflection of the decay of Imperialism, in a different and yet similar manner to how Biden was. Ultimately, the only path forward is the same as it always was, working class organization.

Trump is USA's Rasputin - a celebrity clown that brings the old systemic rot to the surface, but merely a symptom by himself.
