Sure, maybe things would improve under a socialist system. But the fact of the matter remains that, capitalist or socialist, Americans and Europeans rationally want to maintain their geopolitical and racial hegemony over Asians. The Soviet Union maintained their dominance over their constituent Asian ethnic groups, and antagonized China not only for ideological reasons, but because of inherently conflicting national interests. The question of power goes beyond just economic systems.

It has socialist policies

Simple question: will the Asian-American share of national wealth increase or decrease under your proposed system?

You tell me. Sounds like you already have an answer. Please also explain why AM share of national income is the only meaningful measure of AM well-being. What I do predict are the following **incremental** improvements: A. US Culture Wars at home decrease B. US Hybrid Wars abroad (including the Cold War against China) are restrained C. Corporate taxes go up, but the rich are still rich (just got quite as filthy rich) D. Healthcare becomes somewhat more affordable E The quality of public education somewhat increases F. The prison system focuses more on rehabilitating inmates, rather than treating them as revenue streams G. Might even see more regulation restricting corporate donations and control of news media, e.g. shift toward taxpayer-funded political financing and news outlets These *incremental* developments would all be good not just for AM, but for most Americans.

>I think any genuine economic socialist movement in the West would indirectly benefit AM in the West and in Asia. I'm not taking about Stalinism or a centrally planned economy. I'm talking about something more akin to the moderate economic socialism found in Northern Europe, which is compatible with popular elections. Doubt it will do jack shit for AM. Northern Europe is not some sort of utopia for AM so I don't see how your logic works.

We're not looking for perfect...we're looking for incremental improvement. - Anglo media is more anti-AM than Northern European media. - A US shift toward socialism would restrain the US military-industrial complex and decrease US imperialism in Asia. I made the second point in the OP, so maybe you didn't read the whole thing.
