Understood but I think trying to reindustrialize may accelerate America's downfall because the world has globalised supply chains.
The 50s were good for America because WW2 left it without an industrial competitor.

So whats going to happen now? Well the camp in the west who realize that they lost sight of reality will try to force reindustrialization.
At this point reindustrialization is just trying to wind the clock back to 50s America and bring back low paid factory work. It's not a promising plan when most Americans can't survive on 50s wages.
The scary issue in the background that the world faces is climate change. The planet doesn't have the time and resources to waste reindustrializing the US.

Look in the Movies and TV section under Asian drama
I have to assume the bourgeoisie have a plan.
IMHO the plan is : "I want a tax cut. Therefore cut spending that doesn't directly benefit me!"
The neo liberal agenda has always been austerity everywhere ("except where I want to blow my wad").
The US isn't the only source of carrot in a multipolar world.
Real talk: a lot of Americans don't know how to farm...
Cry harder, Atlantic. Russia offered a peace deal way earlier and the West didn't want it.
Should be renamed "The Atlantis" and get sunk into the ocean.
And DeepSeek generated a Spice model of a standard oscillator design with missing connections? That's a worry.
I am in the circuit design field. What is the reference book ?
I think the Ukrainian rare earth minerals are a fantasy much like they were in Afghanistan.
They would have been mined prior to 2022 if they were so valuable.
This is just an excuse to say a great deal has been made. Trump loves those. Better than saying the US just lost and threw all the military aid money down the toilet.
Byung Chul Han called it "excessive positivity" in Burnout Society. We are too smart to be obedient these days so instead we are oppressed by our own drive for achievement, praise, clout. Each individual is their own brand in competition with other individuals. Eventually it leads to exhaustion, depression and burnout.
The only question i have is whether they are really so dumb that they believe giving tax breaks to oligarchs and applying some tariffs is sufficient to bring industry back
Investment goes where money is so it has some attraction. Probably industry will come back but to a limited degree because the supply chains have not been built AND you have to train workers up. These typically take years to establish especially for stuff like cars and chips.
In the meantime the pain of inflation is going to bite even harder for regular people.
This is probably the only opportunity for regular Americans to organise and get those jobs/wages and make sure to rip off some capitalists who are high on Trump juice. The domestic market is protected by tariffs. Get the bag. Take as much share of profits from the capitalists as possible. Get the employee healthcare and max it out etc.
When those industries go belly up in a few years, those opportunities will be gone.
Find and express your true self as an individual.
Then recognize the racialized class divisions created by capitalism can be dismantled by communism. Growing your class consciousness and solidarity will contribute to a communist revolution.
