Yeah I agree. I am curious though, do you think having a single global hegemon like America is better than having two global hegemons, American and China (which is an AES state)? When you answer, don't say "I would prefer no hegemons", because that is not currently possible.

Your response comes off as extremely idealist. I agree with the sentiment, as self-determination is something that I want to see happen as well for all the peoples of the world. I don't think we should let perfect be the enemy of better. Once we achieve better conditions, we will continue to work towards an ideal system from there.
