Long-run nothing can go wrong it’s a great idea. Institutions that adopt maladaptive policies will get less competitive over time and be replaced by ones that are resistant to silly bullshit
I'm talking about a much more total collapse. US / Western euro institutions becoming useless would have a much more dramatic impact than say SA pushing AA doctrine. If the US became a failed state with SA style racial politics (which I don't personally see happening)...

Would be inter generational and not sudden imho as population dies naturally/is replaced (http://www.unz.com/isteve/the-worlds-most-important-graph/ …). Question is *useless* to whom, and relative to what? Crap Europe still>Angola. Once maj/min status achieved in a democracy, you have permanent AA.
-
And how much of that graph is due to the functioning institutions such as pharmaceutical development etc? If western ints decide to stop functioning for an ideological project, either China will replace them, or there will be mass death as they collapse
-
Re institutions stopping functioning, a good example would be Brazil. Barely functioning, vast corruption, baizuo warfare dialled up to 10 - but managing to cobble it together enough to stay afloat. HC outcomes (etc) are worse, but still vastly preferable for a Liberian.
-
Yes - but Brazil isn’t integral to the world system in the way the US or the EU is. Small failed states can happen, big ones will fragment / reorganise
-
Outside Europe becoming Yugoslavia (it is), then everyone agreeing - yes, that didn't work (and clearly and consciously understand why), and new 'safe spaces' being created, then perhaps. How these spaces could be created without howls of racism, etc idk.

... then huge parts of the world economy will just cease to function, and (unless they are replaced by East Asian ones) there will be a "full" autocorrect. Small failed states can play out but if, say, the global pharmaceutical industry collapsed then you would see "correction"
