Meh. I only oppose the “President” part of “socialist President”, not the “socialist” part.
And I hate AmeriKKKa no matter who’s in charge. It’s a racist settler-colonial capitalist entity.
Like you can have free speech without AmeriKKKa. But also…try standing in front of your local AmeriKKKan university with a “John Brown did nothing wrong” sign, or basically any sufficiently inflammatory black or indigenous radical sign, and see how long your freedom of speech gets respected. I.e., the AmeriKKKan entity is an impediment to free speech if you’re an anarchist, communist, anti-capitalist, black, indigenous, etc.
If the US becomes a socialist country during the Great Depression (a lot like in the althistory story “Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline”), would you like the country more?
As someone not from the US, I’d fucking celebrate if your shithole country implodes. You’ve caused enough pain and suffering around the world, about time you face some of it
Probably. Again, I oppose the “country” part of “socialist country”. And frankly, a “socialist” project that adopts the AmeriKKKan flag, i.e. positioning itself as somehow an extension of the AmeriKKKan project, is not a project worth pissing on.
What flag do you have the mind for a socialist America? Maybe the kind of flag like the UASR in “Reds!”? I really like that flag - it DOESN’T rely on the red-white-blue, stars and stripes combination like some of the other althistory stories about a socialist US. Here, the combination of colors is red, black and gold, NOT to mention to the hammer-compass-gear-wheat symbol on the centre of the flag
I mean yeah I’d be cool with that being the flag of a commune, although I don’t think we necessarily need to have an “America-scale” single anarchist community. Like my vision of post-US North America looks more like complex networks of autonomous local collectives.

You prefer the term “socialist society”? I assume you’re more of an anarchist
Yeah I’m an anarcho-communist.

That would be rad, but that’s not the timeline we live in
