    The difference between the size and scope of the universe to that of the smallest particle in existence is still barely able to express the immensurable amount of contempt I hold for these imperialists and anyone like - and who likes - them.

    More than 10. Murderikkka is the reason why we’re in so much mess right now. Earth-chan would do REALLY good to get rid of it, or make it extremely humble before the rest of the world.

    Yeah, the brits also caused a lot of problems but they’ve been greatly humbled; it’s just now his rebellious child’s turn. Maybe we’ll actually be able to clean up the mess left by these two once the rebellious child loses its fangs and claws.

    Probably 8, i want to see them balkanized, which unfortunately for the people would bring much violence before, and probably also later. Still less brutal than the continuation of the current regime.

    9 would be something like “i would love to see the brutal civil war there”

    10 would be “nuke the fuck out of them”

      Return all states that belong to Mexico to Mexico, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam and other islands get independence, Alaska to Russia and rest of 38 states to Native Americans.

      Self determination and liberation of groups like the Hawaiians, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, and other overseas colonies is a must, but full balkanization would be an untold disaster. It would make the regional conflicts in the Balkans after the fall of Yugoslavia look like “Babies First Genocide”.

      A reintegration and reorganization of the current territory into a Soyuz system similar to how the Soviet Union came together after the fall of the Russian Empire seems like it would be significantly more successful in the long term with comparably less bloodshed.

        Think again. What must be done, is destruction of the federal government and its institutions like military, police, etc, which means basically all of them since states do function largely on their own, so balkanization would de facto happen anyways.

        Next, you probably means that the “balkanization” as USA is doing it. I don’t mean invade them by PRC army and force them at gunpoint. That would happen by themselves, the alternative is civil war and fascism like Rainer Shea describe, so i want LESS suffering for the people of USA. Optimal resolution would be dissolution of the union and then states would form their own blocks (since there is no way to keep them separate), which would maybe also allow for some form of selfdetermination of opressed minorities. I assume usians aren’t barbarians who will start to murder eachother in rage as soon as the big brother FBI dissapear? Because if they aren’t they can maybe sort this out and if they are, they will have “untold disaster” anyway. USA will fall sooner or later and nobody would held their hand then.

        Which leads me to:

        Self determination and liberation of groups like the Hawaiians, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, and other overseas colonies is a must, but full balkanization would be an untold disaster.

        Idealist take. How do you imagine those groups gaining self determination without revolution, without civil war, without removal of federal government, without balkanization? Again how do you imagine those groups getting self determination without balkanization and “untold disaster” for the US anglos? They will just pretty please ask the fash?

        A reintegration and reorganization of the current territory into a Soyuz system similar to how the Soviet Union came together after the fall of the Russian Empire seems like it would be significantly more successful in the long term with comparably less bloodshed.

        Sure it would be nice and beautiful. If we are on this level of idealism, maybe even entire world at once? Seriously speaking, everyone agrees that USA will have revolution dead last of any country, so by then it will be entire world. Unfortunately for usians, they will be after decades of “untold disaster”. They will have to liberate themselves. Maybe they will surprise me, but i’m not counting on it, nothing at all indicate even the slightest possibility.

        What i am concerned is mostly:

        1. Fastest possible end of USA imperialism. When III Reich was falling, no communist cried about their people even though they did suffered “untold disaster”, and they were done in by external invasion. I don’t see anyone invading USA so whatever they will do to themselves, they will do it with their own hands. And every second of continous USA imperialism mean more and more suffering worldwide and bigger chance of ecological collapse of entire world. This is the real “untold disaster” that is happening right now, compared to that some petty brawl beween North and South Carolina or whatever is literally nothing.

        2. This is the rotting empire with nukes, which can end us all way faster than by eco collapse if the madmen at steer decide that after them, the deluge.

          Who said that I wanted any of those things without a revolution or the removal of the federal government? I was implying all those things will happen AFTER the revolution succeeds. I’m not saying the US will magically change into a wonderland overnight, but if the Soviet Union and China could accomplish a similar feat then why would the US not be able to?

            I was implying all those things will happen AFTER the revolution succeeds.

            Thing is, US will not have any revolution when the feds exist (maybe a fascist one or some inter-imperialist coup), and proletarian movement is in complete shambles. Therefore revolution will come much much later after their fall. Also USA conditions are vastly different than chinese or russian were. As i said, maybe it will happen, since they could be weeks where the decades happen, but i will not hold my breath and nobody certainly can wait for socialst revolution to happen before they stop the imperialism - this needs to end asap.

            Also about balkanization itself, just look at political and economical polarization between states. When feds fall, i’m abslutely sure some states will get very tempted to shed the burden for this or that reason. Texan separatist comes to mind, but also richer states will most probably try to band together against poorer ones. Again, the civil war in that case is not necessarily unavoidable, depend on how exactly will all that happen. As in case of previous empires, it will most certainly not be one point when everything suddenly breaks but rather slow decline.

              I think saying that revolution won’t happen because of the Feds is very fatalistic and wrong. Communist movements always have had strong opposition, but we don’t let that stop us. But I do agree or sympathize with your overall point.

                Feds as in the entirety of federal government and its instruments. Also i didn’t said it won’t ever happen, but as you can see they have been incredibly successfull up to date in fighting specifically socialists. I would rather say what will get rid of the government won’t be a socialist revolution (that will come later after probable period of turmoil). Most likely they will at some point implode under its own weight much like most empires in history, especially that there won’t be any outside military intervention which usually speed things up.

      “THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
