Not that this wouldn't happen but in the USA there are a lot of states, with Texas and California perhaps being the biggest example, where people feel more pride about the state than being an American generally. I feel like what you're saying would still happen if a new civil war broke out in America but also a phenomenon of states such as these fighting out their own smaller civil wars.
Midterm Thread
Oh yeah, I think you could include New York in that too simply by virtue of how ideologically entrenched these states are along with their decent economies. There would be some trouble in places like Austin for them (only outlier I can think of off top of my head). I could definitely see some right wingers going full guerrilla in California, starting fires and setting off car bombs etc.
I think eventually they'd consolidate and it would look like coast vs mainland for the most part, despite all the foreplay to get there.
Dallas has also gone Leftward recently and so has Houston (a D.SA guy just elected to be a judge in a decent sized district there). All three cities are still pretty much just liberalism though, albeit left-leaning for the most part.
In California there's also tons of anarkiddies who love living there but hate both all the silicon valley neoliberal bullshit and also the prevalence of fascists in some parts of the state so I could see it getting pretty serious there.
Critical support for the incoherent anarkiddies against Silicon Valley.
The politics after the dust settled would be just as crackpot as it is now too, with the market fascist Greater Texan Union constantly being completely butthurt at having to manage one of the largest land borders on the planet and being unable to stop Latinos coming in from E+S+W. Aggressive posturing and paranoid ramblings about libtard conspiracies abound.
I hope there would be a civil war in the US, that would mean a long "break" for imperialism, also Balkanization of capitalists states is always a good thing.
Even if I really doubt this would happen in this half-century.
If it happens, should I come over from Europe to fight alongside the Anarkiddies? Perhaps I could talk some sense into them.
Lad, Europe has enough problems of its own right now for you to waste your time dicking around with anarkiddies and Americans
(first reply here) I'm in the UK, don't waste your time on Americans especially since the left there will be crushed.
Just get a flight to Liverpool or Manchester when the UK finally loses its mind.
This. Corbyn is the ONE good thing happening for the Western Left right now and if there's enough socialists on the ground to protect him from a reactionary coup once Labour inevitably gets control of government he might actually make the UK Titoist
>Titoist
Kek, we'll be the true ideological successors and fund it with Wonga payday loans.
I think if Corbyn gets couped it will be McDonnell time tbqh, then the reactionaries are really going to get fucked in the ass.
