Socialist?! Wash your mouth out.
I'm not recommending it, just predicting it.
I don't think I underestimate the problems they'll face. They'll certainly still compete against eachother but if/when the chips are really down they'll stick together because they have a common interest in so doing. The alternative will be far worse just like it was when the west and Russians fought the Nazis. It'll be the only way they can protect what they've got and doing so won't be simple but that won't stop them trying and forming whatever political and other alliances are required to try to influence policy.
Unless we suffer a calamity, the population of the world isn't going to stop growing fast and competition for resources is only going to get worse as is the drive of billions of poor people to find a better way of life elsewhere. Yes of course we may well be talking many decades but the end game is inevitable IMHO.
Anyway, this is digressing rather from the topic. I'd like to be able to blame it on Corbyn but even I can't do that.
