This is hilarious “ radically left wing”

Yeah like how people on nationstates think the pledge of the allegiance is fascistic :roll: though?

Yes, the Left are silly hypocrites.

It really is true when they say if the left didnt have double standards they wouldnt have standards at all
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.”
“We have buried the putrid corpse of liberty”
"We have the duty, not the right, to defend our territories if the state is absent"
“The truth is that men are tired of liberty.”
Fascism is the modern states national and natural immune response to unchained capitalism and subversive Marxist ideology.

Progression is quite literally inevitable, the only question is what shape it shall take.

Glad to see you’re turning away from capitalism, being opposed to people profiting off the labor of others and all.

We can either slowly manage the empire into its inevitable decline and implosion like the Soviets did, or we can break-off a habitable chunk while we still can and split (like the Eastern Roman Empire).

First of all, I figure it would be best to grant independence to Alaska and Hawaii. The question of how to divide the rest of the US would be a bit more complicated.

Previously I have proposed that the southwestern United States should be given back to Mexico and the rest should be annexed by Canada, but other people have pointed out that this would lead to Canadians being outnumbered by former US citizens and that Canada would like reject such a plan. So with that in mind, how would you divide the continental US?

You really trust the Mexican government with managing/governing over anything more than they already try to? :/

Giving the Southwestern US to Mexico would lead to former US citizens being outnumbered by Mexicans. I'm sure they would love that.

Also, Canada annexing the US is really the same as the US annexing it.

Well, it would be better if they restored the House of Iturbide and established a constitutional monarchy.

The Hapsburg guy would probably better. Iturbide was known as a lunatic.

Much of the southwestern US is culturally closer to Mexico than the rest of the country anyway. Also, I think Americanism is a failed ideology, and I don't want Canada incorporated into a US-style liberal republic.

Some parts of it, certainly. But places like Phoenix, Orange County, San Diego, and West Texas? Not a chance.

I don’t think the cartels etc. care what the government is or who’s leading it - They’re still going to operate, and Mexico’s law enforcers and local executive are still going to be corrupt. I’d they can hardly be trusted with governing their own land as is, why should perfectly-well-off US states be ceded to them?

Even if there are a few Anglo enclaves, they could still be outvoted by other inhabitants of their states, especially if locals lose faith in the ideals of US civic nationalism. Besides, don't Orange County and San Diego have large numbers of Asians and Hispanics?

The influx of wealth would lead to a growing middle class, which would lead to an effective anti-corruption movement, which would lead to crackdowns on the cartels.

But states purely on the basis of ideology are not usually stable in the long term. Look what happened with the collapse of communism in Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union.

How? The cartel forces are powerful enough to fight the official Mexican government's actual military and win. Look what happened with El Chapo's son. If the cartels were dealing with a hypothetical official Mexican government which they couldn't bribe or threaten into submission, one which was willing to make an outright fight of the issue, the monopoly of force wouldn't necessarily be on the government's side.

Of course if you've got a united states government crazy and/or weakened enough to cede American territory inhabited by American citizens to Mexico, the issue isn't how Mexico plans to assimilate said territory and citizens but if said citizens are well-armed enough to fight the Mexican government and cartels themselves and establish their own government. Which is an entirely different scenario. Instead of "the US military invades Mexico", "the US government goes crazy, says they won't stop any American citizens who try to invade Mexico themselves, cue the /k/ommando warlords."
