    As in, the people, or the state? Like, do the people remain, but the government is abolished?

    If people, none, I’m not a genocidal monster.

    If the state, the United States of America, the Global South would be far better off without the genocidal US Empire. Would also free Palestine without US backing of Israel.

      Of course the people would remain, I should’ve worded my post better.

        Then I stick with my United States answer, the US Empire is holding the world back and needs to be overthrown, ideally from within.

    The Vatican … and just let it become part of Italy again. Nothing would change except for a bunch of wealthy idiots trying to hide their money.

      The US is the source of every problem?

        The US Empire is the world’s largest Imperialist Power and the greatest exploiter of the Global South, it’s the source of most problems for sure.

    Probably like… North Korea - I hold no ill will against individuals there but that country is eventually either going to be a humanitarian crisis with a full government collapse or get twitchy and reignite the unification war.

    It’d be a major improvement in the lives of everyone in the region if they were just magically absorbed by South Korea.

      In the last year the DPRK has announced that they have abandoned reunification, their previous “one state, 2 systems” stance was replaced with a “2 state” system. The DPRK no longer seeks reunification, which is sad. I think the “one state, two systems” solution would have been a great move forward for a fractured people.

        The DPRK is currently blowing up bridges and escalating conflict. They absolutely haven’t abandoned all claims to South Korea.

          They are demolishing bridges on their side of the DMZ and cutting reunification committees. Their official stance is, again, 2 states, no longer 1 state, 2 systems. How are they escalating? Looks more like they are hunkering down.

          Blowing up stuff inside their own borders… And how are they escalating?
