I think it could, look how rapidly China industrialized, how rapidly India industrialized, when given a centralized power structure and lack of regulations It’s been shown to be possible. Now it wouldn’t happen overnight which is why I believe it’s already underway and why they’re investing so heavily in destabilizing Germany, The UK and India.
I believe by migrating their capital to European defense contractors and advancing far right policy they are readying an escape hatch
India is lagging far behind China, the reason China developed so rapidly is due to their socialist market economy. By having strong central planning, and public ownership of the large firms and key industries, while allowing limited private and foreign capital for secondary and small/medium industries. As a consequence of this structure, it is neither imperialist nor driven to imperialism. These other countries you speak of cannot replicate China’s success without adopting socialism anyways, which prevents the drive to imperialism.
So, if I understand you correctly you’re asserting that the dissolution of the American power structure would disallow oligarchy for asserting centralized control and would force them to have a much smaller sphere of influence as is seen with Russian and The Saudi Arabian Oligarchs?
The “oligarchy” in the US already has control. The dissolution of the current, capitalist system would result in either socialism if we succeed or barbarism if we fail, and said barbarism would be far more localized. Russia dissolved a socialist system, not an oligarchic one of capitalism, and Saudi Arabia is a monarchy.
I was using the broad term oligarch to mean someone who has " great capital and political control who is not part of the electorate". It’s okay though, I still gather what you mean.
I still think you underestimate the blood price if things have to be done that way but it sounds like we agree on most things just not how easy it is to rip out the parasite that is capitalism.
It was too long ago for me to pull up the specific comment but I have had people on ML showing me Al Jazeera articles trying to convince me that DT is good for the Gaza strip and that he was a better vote than Kamala so for now I’ll evaluate on a case by case basis.
That wouldn’t be true for long when they migrate their capital as we’ve seen already happening with recent market ripples.
How so? Finance capital doesn’t shift that quickly, nor does industrial capacity.

That’s generally been my point, I think you actually agree with most people here, but have been reading them less charitably.
