When you unite India without too much bloodshed : UNLIMITED (man)POWER.
For real though, a red india would be the beginning of the end, or a continuation for that matter.
Red china plus Red India would make up like 30% of the world population, which would be insane
Except this time it’s hard to believe China wouldn’t be quite happy with its main regional rival going socialist
This is sounds just like Korea...
CGTN did a nice propaganda documentary called Enemy On The Doorstep about that recently: CGTN.com or YouTube
China would then say: countries should resolve their own internal disputes, so stand back an let them have their revolution.
If revolution really happens and communists are winning, then USA eventually sends in troops to oppose the revolution.
Since having the USA army on their doorstep is a threat to their own security, China can finally send its own volunteer army.If China tried to intervene directly most liberals would see that as an invasion.
USA/EU public opinion really matters here, they have to avoid starting an actual war, since that could end in nuclear exchange.That’s not how China would interact though. They likely wouldn’t get involved unless the US did
I dunno, I'm not quite sure what they would do.
If they felt the winds changing I think they would start being more explicitly internationalist.
all the poeple that cause the sino soviet split are dead and the new generation of leadership has come up in a world marked by the fall of the ussr to assume they have the same positions simply because theyre chinese is stupid
If there is a Cold War and India joins their feared Eastern NATO I could see China maybe changing it's stance and at least try and get a US ally off it's doorstep. However, this is a different cold war.
Regardless, if it does get violent, and the communists start gaining, you can be sure this will become a proxy war as the US wouldn't want to lose a valuable ally in the new cold war
How possible is this? I see the massive general strike happening, and also know about the Naxilites. I also know Modi seems hugely popular.
Why is that? A lot of the 250 million strikers must have been voting for Modi the last time. Does the electoral left suck?
Indian politics are super regional, but the main political faultline was caste, with lower castes voting Congress and upper castes voting BJP. Going full nationalist, Modi has united a critical mass of castes and even cowed Muslim parties into cooperation. Congress leadership is super out of touch, and they and the communist parties (outside of Kerala) are perceived with some truth as hopelessly corrupt.
While the economy was growing, Modi could successfully position himself as the anti-corruption patriot. Now that the economy is reeling, he’s (attempting) to go shock doctrine on the peasants.
I don’t think a viable nationwide electoral opponent is out there, unless the Congress Party cleans house. But rural unrest could split off BJP regional allies. Hard to say what’s next.
