What do Americans have to gain from socialism as a world system?

^^^^ CB: Reduce the military budget by 95%, close 100 military bases, get rid of nuclear weapons.

*********************************************************************** A higher standard of living. We're way more productive than ever before. We can't produce this higher standard of living now because capos can't sell the goods and services--'insufficient demand'. Besides, workers are organised/employed as a class of wage-slaves to do so many things which they only need to do in order to support bureaucracies and services which would be totally unnecessary in a system where goods and services were being produced for use and need in a classless society.

The end of the relentless commodification of useful things, nature/natural wealth and social relations.

Just for starters,

^^^^^^^^ CB: I agree with Mike . A _world_ socialist system would mean a socialist system in America, with all the benefits of a _"domestic"_ socialist system ( but with national borders beginning to whither away , so "domestic" would become an obsolete term)
