America Has Been Demoted (Part One) | Shahid Bolsen

America&position as the world&sole superpower was never earned — it was inherited from the collapse of its rivals. Now the vacancy is being filled. In this talk, Shahid Bolsen walks through the structural evidence of America&demotion from global superpower to regional hegemon: the GDP numbers, the dollar&decline, the military track record, the diplomatic losses. Then he goes deeper — into the two factions of private-sector power that have captured the American state and are actively managing its controlled decline for their own purposes. The multipolar transition is real. But here&what most people celebrating it are missing: the danger isn&that it fails. The danger is that it succeeds — on terms already set by the same anational capital that built the previous order.
