What kind of rationally self-interested bourgeois would instruct everyone to read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao?
Angel Cooper

Was Engels playing Marx all along?

It can't really be called a "failure". The US Monopolar world/gilded had a good 30 year run, and the current neoliberal economic model had a good 50 years out of it. What Trump is doing isn't destruction, it's a dismantling. He knows this too and isn't fighting it, neither are most Americans who ultimately just want glorious isolationism and autarky again. The only people who stand to loose from this is China, whose current economy is a result of a strategic detente the US brokered with them to curb the USSR's power. As the USSR is long gone and China proved complicit with Russia's current activities, things are going to change.
Of course China is asshurt over this since they have the most to loose so they're making it seem like America can't win this, when America has everything to win. Either Trump bullies other countries into unilateral FTAs splitting their collective power, or everyone puts up tariffs and American businesses cut them all out bringing jobs home. Meanwhile America stops being the world police, freeing up money for America's US-based nuclear triad. America then fucks off like Americans have always wanted it to, while the rest of the planet burns.

There is no "almost ready" for socialism. Either you are socialist, or you are not. There's no prep stage beyond building industrial capacity which China had the moment they started building their own nukes in the 50s.
Also this has been a long time coming, going all the way back trade with China put Clinton ahead of HW. Of course Clinton turned out to be a free trader as well, but my point is that Americans have wanted a Trump-like economic policy for a long, long, long time now. It took eight years of shitty Republican leadership and eight years of shitty Democratic leadership to take things to the breaking point.

No it goes all the way back to the 70s with Mao choosing USA / Nixon over the USSR and Socialism
