My parents were loyal Americans and believed deeply in the American system of government and my dad spent most of his life supporting the American way of life one way or other. First by volunteering for the United States Air Force at the start of WWII. Then excelling in that service for which he gained medals of honor. [Some of which He did not tell me about and others he revealed what they were for. One was for the setting up of a Air Base in France which airplanes that were disabled could come in and be repaired in short order.] Later he contributed to the USA by his work on the U-2 project. He created one of the cameras used by the U-2. Also by inventing the first InfraRed telescope. Then work on laser communication between satellites for Star Wars SDA. In short my parents believed in the American way.
So when I see people like Trotsky, I wonder why the option of the American way did not occur to him as a better way to attain a just system of government?
The answer I have is that the situation was different. It was not a matter of choosing between czarism and capitalism. Rather it seems to him and millions of Russians that the issue was how to throw off the yoke of the czars.
What this means for today is that, in fact, it would make much sense to look at the Constitution of the USA to see what a just system of government would be like. Sadly this does not seem to hold in the USA where the Constitution is nowadays ignored.
Still, a lot depends n the sort of people the system is meant to govern.
If you think all menial workers are saints and all factory owners are demons that is going to result in a different sort of system than if one thinks that human beings across the board contain a evil inclination --even if they are workers, or black or female.
The shear number of people in the USA that hate the Co Constitution of the USA would have seemed as as terrible people.
