One mistake here, a socialist system wouldn’t forget how capitalism works. If we forget, it can come back under our noses lol, otherwise, I like this story. It paints the picture of the U.S and their paranoia well. I’d like to add onto this idea. Perhaps the U.S will say “Hmm… They have more advanced systems. Let’s pretend to be their friend and steal their technology, gain an advantage, then when confronted, tell them they stole first!”
Honestly I want to make a story about humans in the future finding a planet they can breathe on and want to travel to. 100 times better than the societies on earth since the other species and their societies are more advanced. And then you have the government ruling majority of this earth trying to keep humans inside this dome they created for them. And then there’s like a certain group that wants to not only help humans be able to go to that other planet, but to also bring that other planet’s qualities to earth and overshadow the old rule.
I’m new to that subject. One can argue if they were truly socialist or state capitalist. I sadly have no thought on the matter :( One thing I can say is that the implementation of socialism on countries that were formerly capitalist or monarchist may have been a new concept. They might have went back to what they knew best since socialism may have been venturing into the unknown for them. Correct me if I’m wrong.
