If the US becomes a socialist country during the Great Depression (a lot like in the althistory story "Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline"), would you like the country more?

Probably. Again, I oppose the "country" part of "socialist country". And frankly, a "socialist" project that adopts the AmeriKKKan flag, i.e. positioning itself as somehow an extension of the AmeriKKKan project, is not a project worth pissing on.

You prefer the term "socialist society"? I assume you're more of an anarchist

Yeah I'm an anarcho-communist.

What flag do you have the mind for a socialist America? Maybe the kind of flag like the UASR in "Reds!"? I really like that flag - it DOESN'T rely on the red-white-blue, stars and stripes combination like some of the other althistory stories about a socialist US. Here, the combination of colors is red, black and gold, NOT to mention to the hammer-compass-gear-wheat symbol on the centre of the flag

I mean yeah I'd be cool with that being the flag of a commune, although I don't think we necessarily need to have an "America-scale" single anarchist community. Like my vision of post-US North America looks more like complex networks of autonomous local collectives.

That would be rad, but that's not the timeline we live in

As someone not from the US, I'd fucking celebrate if your shithole country implodes. You've caused enough pain and suffering around the world, about time you face some of it
