You're bringing in shit ton of topics in this statement. It's hard to figure out what's your intent for advocating this. In explicit terms, what exactly do you consider good for humanity? How do you feel about the impact of dismantling the US government? Do you really understand what exactly that would cause?

I am not following what you mean by "this" when you're asking about what I'm advocating.

In explicit terms, my understanding is that Leninists and similar ideologies believe that humanity is in its capitalist phase, and that the next phase is communism. That is what I mean when I say that they believe a revolution in the US is good for humanity.

I don't feel good about the impact of the US being dismantled, nor do I feel good about any western nation being dismantled. I don't think anyone has a full clue what the US collapsing would cause, but I think it would cause catastophe. I am not advocating dismantling, if that's what you think.

Ah, I'm all for it then. I'm just not onboard for careless actions done for the sake of doing, and consequently introducing instability to other's lives.
