No.

Realistically? Nothing.

The unpleasant reality is ~~Russians, like the Chinese~~ Americans have never, in all their long history, existed without authoritarian rule. They are culturally inured to it. They actively seek it. They’re broken, as a society, and only dissolving their society will cure them.

I wonder how many 18+ people play Roblox.

It's too late. The grasp of finance capital on the US' state of political economy is so strong that the ruling elite scoff at the notion of even providing some crumbs of the pie, i.e., imperial super profits, to placate domestic labor.

Western propaganda is just really lazy, nowadays. No doubt that it's a symptom of neoliberalism-induced brain rot.

I don't think that we disagree. Because, for the reasons that you have provided, competition will produce almost-indestructible monopolies as a natural consequence, and those monopolies have a tendency to use their extensive power to destroy and buy out potential competitors and seek for quick, easy ways to accumulate wealth; notably, through rentier capitalism.

This is literally what's happening right now; at least, in the US.

"Competition is good because it leads to cheaper prices for consumers", doesn't really work since it neglects the union of the state and monopolies to artificially charge higher prices for items of the same - even worse quality; while hindering competition that has the potential to change the status quo.

I mean—the US is trying to prevent the world from cooperating with China, Russia and other major economies because they know that they are incapable of competing due to their decades-long crusade of neoliberalism. Another example is the fossil fuel industry stalling for time against the wave of the renewable energy era; or the automobile industry lobbying against efficient public transportation.

The point is that the major neoliberal powers don't want competition to exist; they just want rent-seeking sectors that can earn them a treasure trove of money as fast as possible.

Caucasians are just people that originate from the Caucasus, like Georgians and Armenians.

That second statement is true. The last two not so much

What the Marx are you talking about? Compare cities, like Chongqing, to NYC, and you can easily see how much superior Chinese cities are to US cities. For instance, public transportation, such as electric driver-less buses, taxis and high speed rail far surpasses anything the US can muster.

I believe that's what I stated. Multipolarity isn't the end goal, which is global communism; but, it is a necessary step to take in order to reach that goal given the cards we are dealt with.

Multipolarity is definitely something that communists should support. Of course, it's not the end goal, but it is a necessary step to take in order to dismantle USD hegemony and allow all nations to liberate themselves from debt traps.
