My talk tonight is about the lack of collapse-preparedness here in the United States. I will compare it with the situation in the Soviet Union, prior to its collapse.I watched the Soviet Union collapse, and I have tried to put my observations into a concise message. I will leave it up to you to decide just how urgent a message it is.
Do elaborate.
some parts of it sounds like social chauvinism.
That’s fair, but overall analysis seems to be sound. The parts I found particularly interesting were around things like city planning and infrastructure where USSR was planned around communal living, and that made it possible for people to create mutual aid networks to get through the hard times. On the other hand, US has a big suburbia and car culture which is far more problematic in time of shortages and insecurity.
