USSR was better prepared for collapse than the US

[Mark Stapleton]

It is a sick system and the sooner it is put out of our misery the better though the transition is not going to be pretty for all the reasons out lined in the post. The question is does it lead to a more just and equitable system or do we get fascism?

Good question. My guess is a bit of both.

There's going to be so many pissed off people in the US, which makes it hard to predict because Americans don't seem to be rational (en masse I mean). I think they're too patriotic and too religious. Of course, they're not alone there.

What kind of political system emerges when the global superpower experiences collapsing wealth and living standards, coupled with rapid advancements in technology, particularly weapons and communications technology. And with climate change, overpopulation, food shortages, and competition for scarce resources thrown in?

I'm stumped.
