Not America, but much of Western Civilization. I make that point because America didn’t go as far as the UK, Canada, or Germany. Could include France and Spain, but they always seemed basket cases.
The proles do not need need or deserve the goods and services rightfully due their hardworking betters in the intelligentsia, nomenklatura, and other benevolent Party notables.
They should only get what those betters chose to reward them with for continued faithful obedience.
The USSR had strong borders with its iron curtain, but it didn’t help them. The problem for them was the internal tyranny and rot, not foreign forces. What keeps the US from suffering the same outcome especially since that’s what Hanson is really complaining about?
