    what are you on about, why is this your response when the country with the worlds largest military says they need to be the primary power over an entire continent that isn’t them

        You just saw my instance and flipped out, I didn’t even make any moral judgments about any political systems, I just said it’s kind of evil to want to “protect our systemic primacy”. “systemic primacy” is literally just policy wonk speak for “world domination”. Why are you so quick to attack me for that? Why are you getting defensive for the trillion-dollar military country?

      They think it’s a zero sum game, with communism on one side and neo-liberalism on the other.

          There’s other ideologies. Vying for power is a different question.

          i.e. China being bad guys doesn’t mean the U.S. isn’t also a bad guy.

          They’re both horrible and have lots of elements of totalitarianism. And the U.S. in particular bears the weight of the responsibility when it comes to our current climate crisis.

          We need something like anarchi-syndacalism if we want to survive. Emergent rather than power based systems.

          In other words, as someone who doesn’t identify with the will to power or property, China and the U.S. are both insane, Imperialist nations. And being against one doesn’t make me for the other. They both suck.
