the critical window has not arrived yet. every other cycle of accumulation has undergone a gradual geographic transition of the core only after the extant capitalist system was thoroughly in the process of collapsing in on itself, heralded mostly by a withering in overall trade volume and corresponding with widespread conflict and a retreat into everyone's respective national economies

so basically, we're waiting for the us to sanction/declare war on china

in the meantime, so long as the powers behind the us political classes remain incapable of formulating a new framework of hegemony, the dollar will only continue to decline, taking the world economy along with it

apocryphally, jttw itself was a satirization of ming bureaucracy through its depiction of the conflict between tang era buddhist and taoist factions of divinity

a lot of issues were overcome on the journey are the result of some god's pettiness/fuckup

imo the us thought it was basically a no lose situation while europe gambled on russia folding

then october 7th happened and now the west is staring down a three front war that it cannot lose lest the mcm' military keynesianism that underpins its entire currency falls apart

crazy how well timed oct 7th was, i am this close to thinking it was a joint chinese/russian conspiracy

though geopolitically it feels like we're more situated in a united provinces -> gb process i think economically it's more useful to consider the gbp -> usd transition:

Through its support for the international gold standard, the New York financial community thus encouraged and sustained London's ultimately futile attempts to remain at the center of world finance... most Western governments shared the conviction that only the re-establishment of the pre-1914 world monetary system, "this time on solid foundations," could restore peace and prosperity.

Ironically, however, this concerted effort, instead of reviving the pre-1914 world monetary system, precipitated its terminal crisis... The pursuit of stable currencies under the pressure of "capital flight" eventually turned the stagnation of world trade and production of the 1920s into the slump of the early 1930s.

seems like we are hereabouts

... as the dependence of the world's payment system on the US dollar increased, the United States acquired foreign assets... on private account to over $8 billion. Ultimately, however, the growing structural imbalances of world payments were bound to impair the continuation of the process... The halt in US foreign lending and investment was made permanent by the collapse of the Wall Street boom and the ensuing slump in the US economy. Faced with sudden recalls or flights of short term funds, one country after another was forced to protect its currency, either by depreciation or exchange control. The suspension of the gold convertibility of the British pound in September 1931 led to the final destruction of the single web of world commercial and financial transactions on which the fortunes of the City of London were based. Protectionism became rampant, the pursuit of stable currencies was abandoned, and "world capitalism retreated into the igloos of its nation-state economies and their associated empires."

russia annexes china after warlords fail to unite the country after another 50 odd years of fighting (we get cool literature though)

russia becomes chinese, the prophesied han-byzantine empire comes to pass, no one gives a shit

except for the twitter marble statue pfp dudes they mald hard, ukronazis get to claim they were right all along about the asiatic russian hordes

china was doing 'good enough' under the us yoke, theyre still reluctant to totally give up what many still perceive to be a valuable if not particularly healthy relationship and ride headlong into the inevitable bloodbath that multipolarity will turn out to be. things are not yet sufficiently asymptotic, inflection points still on the horizon, nothing ever happens gang still reigns supreme

he actually just decided to do real praxis by going deep undercover into the black heart of terf island to destroy it from within, he requests that everyone call him by his codename agent seethe going forward
