I sometimes wonder if those living in the US or observing it from the capitalist West, even its severest critics, can actually envision the US's constitutional republican structure collapsing into nothing, or whether the ideological power induced by its relatively stable existence is so great that it is assumed to be essentially a part of the natural landscape. If so, this is a very naive and dangerous attitude. Or maybe it is just assumed to be of no importance--another naive and dangerous assumption.
