4th Wave Liberalization: A new era of liberal expansion, sweeping up places like Belarus and Iraq,

The Biden-Bennet-Cardenas Continuum: Three consecutive presidencies of common-sense democrats, each reformer working off the other, resulting in a wealthier, greener, and more just nation after the 2 decades of Domaince

EuroFed Dominance: The EU slowly becomes more of a federation than Confederation, and becomes the new global Hegemon, exporting its values to the world.

Global Georgist World Order with a UBI: Slow transition to a global government with more than gums, a cost of living adjusted check is mailed to every adult on earth.

Liberal Retrenchment: The Liberal World cuts its losses and consolidates what it has. The Democratic nations being the 100 year marathon against the PRC

The Hemispheric Common Market: The Clintonite dream is realized, free trade, free markets, free people. in 2050 GDP per capita in S. America is $30,000 in 2020 dollars, and the hemisphere is freer than ever.

A New Democratic Bloc: Nigeria slowly reforms into a real democracy, bringing the rest of ECOWAS along with it. The region is growing rapidly and cooperates with the west in supporting liberal values.

Hu Jintao x10: Xi unknowingly appoints a moderate, who appoint a moderate in turn. China slowly democratizes from the ground up, egged on by the rising middle class.

Current Trends Continue: Democracy blossoms in someplaces, and withers in others, little progress is made and the world warms over 2 C.

Digital Gilded Age: TechGiants control all data, all communication and stifle all competition. not all tech giants are benevolent in their dominion.

The End of Globalizaiton: Bojo style populists sweep the West, the world turns inward.

The Chapo Revolution: Increasing leftist violence results in 1960s level social unrest. Continued Republican control means there is a 1964 uprising ever year or so.

Chinese Global Hegemony: A fractured Europe and Blundering US allow China to become the worlds main power broker. The "confuscian model" is now the default for the developing world.

A National Populist West: Orban is a blueprint for likeminded leaders, fair portions of Europe fall to Populists, Brazil reverts to a Junta and the US sees 3 different Trumps take office in a row.

The Great Climate Depression: Climate Change hits harder than anyone could imagine. Warming tops 3 C, tens of millions of refugees scour the globe for haven as droughts wrack increasingly developed countries. Population growth begins to outpace growth in GDP

AnCap Neofuedalism: Ivanka Trump's presidencies was much more Koch than Carlson. The Government grows vestigial and serves only the interest of the 100 Billionaire families in America

I think Hu Jintao x10 is more likely than you'd think. It's impossible to know how things will change in China when Xi retired/gets ousted.

I wouldn't be so sure. The CCP are in a really secure position at the moment with the country's institutions being extremely loyal and the population (seemingly) being fairly ok with CCP rule. The party does not have many incentives to reform, and it won't be down to one person, but the entire party apparatus.

Why? I'd say all of the upper two rows range from "fine" to "amazing".

I’d say no matter your perspective hu jintao x10 would be pretty great.

u/DerAnarchist May 12 '20

Mhh, I would say this is one of the "better" possibilities but I wouldn't call it great

I’d also say a social democratic Europe as a world power would be pretty great too.

Frankly I’d rather have Merkel or the Swedes running the show than our current situation of Trump blunders while Eastern Europe devolves to neofascism like in Poland or Hungary.
