I suppose the most important question is whether the proletariat can actually use this split in capitalist interests to their advantage or if class solidarity between capitalists will win out and create a compromise.
I think the proletariat is going to have its work cut out for it, but this sort of thing does create further political instability in the west. The more brittle the system becomes the more opportunity there is to tear it down.
I think what’s likely to happen is that a rift among the ruling class will be created: financial (primarily) and industrial capitalists that benefit from and support the policy of aggression and containment, such as the military-industrial complex, mining industry, oil industry, and finance and real estate; on the other hand, another group of financial and industrial (primarily) capitalists, such as the semiconductor industry, automobile (especially electric) industry, and other tech-based firms, will continue to push back against the hyperaggressive policy of the deep state, and pursue a mutually beneficial cooperation with Chinese firms.
I don’t think that the proletariat and other laboring classes will be revolutionary until financial capitalism is supplanted by industrial capitalism - again - as the dominant mode of production.
