On the other hand, the US has also cannibalized the economies of their strongest vassals in such a way that a pink wave is liable to break out at some point.
Don’t be so sure. Gladio never ended. The only ones allowed to make sense on Russia are the far-right reactionary parties. The left euro-coms are totally defanged NATO stans. Add in the huge anti-immigrant racism push by the bourgeois press and those parties are making continual massive gains year over year in France, Germany, elsewhere and I expect will sweep the continent within the next 10 years with a few hold-outs. Maybe in 20 years you could see some reaction to that, some rejection but between then and now IMO Europeans will experience horrible economies, being used as fodder against China, increased reaction, gutting of social services, scapegoating of minorities, etc. Europeans like Americans are so cooked in propaganda and white supremacy that they’re not going to break out and go anti-capitalist in the near term.
