So, the USA setting up a puppet regime on the other side of the ocean in a peninsula that shares land borders with the former Soviet Union is totally ok? How would you feel as an American if the southern half of Mexico were controlled by modern Russia (assuming you're from the US)? Do you understand how threatening that was to the Soviet Union geopolitically? Remember: the USA had already invaded the Soviet Union during the Russian Revolution, Churchill was clear about the motives for doing so: "I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt, not only on one side of the House, but throughout the civilized world, that the strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race". Obviously the Soviets didn't want an American puppet regime at their doorstep.
The US killed 1.5 million civilians in North Korea alone during the war. How many millions of people has North Korea murdered? Sure, they have had quite an oppressive regime, but compared to leveling 90% of the buildings of North Korea through bombs, what accusation of human right violation do you bring up?
Knowing that the USA murders half a million people yearly through economic sanctions, and that the US would go on to also carpet bomb Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, destroy Iraq, support puppet fascists in the entire Latin America, destabilized the entire middle east, and as of today support materially and diplomatically the genocide of over half a million Palestinians for the past 2 years, do you agree that it's imperative that the USA falls?
The US sucks for sure, but here is a wake up call. So does everyone else save some progressive European countries who were, in the past, bad as well.
Would I rather have the China calling the shots? No. Would I rather have Russia calling the shots? Hell no.
I guess we are at an impasse. The failure of the US would not bring the blessings you think it would.
Obviously the way forward is not through nations whose sole purpose is to fuck everyone over for their benefit. Do please keep praying at the altar of the state to solve your problems, but I won't be joining you.
Why not? China hasn't participated in any war over the past 40 years. The US is by far horrifyingly worse than China.
Again, which human right abuse has North Korea committed that is comparable to the leveling of essentially every building in a country through mass bombing campaigns?
China's communist revolution, which was really just an authoritarian power grab, caused and continues to cause massive suffering. China has provided the arms for numerous conflicts. Don't even try to play dumb.
If North Korea had the power and projection it would do far worse than the US. I am not going to defend the US because it is rotten to the core. I am not also going to pretend any of the other major players would be any better if they were at the helm.
The best way forward would be a peaceful revolution in the US and the establishment of the first actual socialist stateless society.
This is obviously pie in the sky so the second best thing would be for the US to slowly demilitarize while stabilizing the countries they destabilized and making amends for past behaviors where practical.
Concentration of power is what got us here and no other state has the solution because the solution comes from the people, not the corrupt ruling class using the violence of the state to maintain their privilege.

By uplifting 800mn people from poverty in the biggest industrialization effort in human history?
What conflict over the past 40 years has China provided arms for?
That's evidently American exceptionalism, you're out of your mind. The US is literally founded on genocide, and even being the richest nation in the world it can't afford universal healthcare to its own citizens. I can't possibly think of a worse nation to project power. You're absolutely high on American exceptionalism.
Someone has been drinking the Kool-Aid! I get it, you support China. I am not going to lecture you on the deaths they have caused throughout history continuing into modern times. How they starved hundreds of thousand of their own citizens to death in just one siege or their own genocides because you don't care and will just deny it.
You are trying so hard to not be objective it isn't even funny. I don't support any world super power. You do. That is the real difference.
