Suppose that Europe wasn't completely fucking ravaged and still had factories available for mass production after WW2.

Would the US still have been able to have the success it had during this era? Or was the 1950s meme just made possible because the US had no competitors?

Could the U.S. accomplish something like this today without war?

Nope

The US was only a success because it was paid to rebuild Europe.

Someone has to fuck up Europe, is what you're trying to say?

Its no surprise that the top dog of a war comes out on top after, its what you do with that that which defines success.

Germany and Japan's economies were destroyed but starting from scratch meant that they ended up making the best consumer products in a better way.

The post war German economic model is actually a shining example of prolonged success, workers rights, education system, etc. It couldn't have happened that way if they'd have won the war.

The USA would likely be in the same place it was after the end of WWI, and I'm going to assume France and Britain retain most of their Empire in some form. An important financial and economic powerhouse (still) gradually dominating the Anglophone countries and taking over British financial dominance

It probably would've been culturally much better off without bloating in the '40s-'60s. Slower growth, with probably less of the suburban/cars meme. Europe would probably be more Commie though

Americans after the conquest of Germany unironically abolished like several hundred German patents and promptly repatented them in America. German companies lost billions of dollars in revenue because of this. Americans and Brits bombed half of Europe into the stone age and then offered to "rebuild" it which made the profits of American industrial companies, and subsequent American standard of living skyrocket. Thankfully this paper tiger of a golden age built on shameless parasitism only lasted for about 20 years before America plunged back into shit and once again became a giant ghetto.

Potentially not, I feel that the British and the Soviets would have been more likely to work together in a way that the Soviets and the Americans never could, might not have had such cold war tension and might have had more Yugoslavia style independent states.

That said, Uncle Joe could also have just steamrolled his way across Europe

I meant more Communist and Socialist parties would be major contenders in Western European elections without US political involvement. It would've continued more of the interwar politics now without Fascism.
>>
>>3308751
The US and all of Western Europe was socialist after WW2. What do you think the New Deal and Labor Britain was? All of the West was democratic socialism for as long as the Communist scare lasted.

>>3308669
No, it took two wars of total European destruction, and the mass importation of Jewish intelligentsia and Nazi top scientists, for your backwards, isolationist nation with idealistic policies and a sense of purpose for good in the world, to become a corporate imperialist superpower in thrall to a fascist shadow government with it's very own secret police. Congratulations, Americans. You took all the good and bad Europe made, discarded all the good, for drudgery, distrust, homelessness and destitution, propaganda and secret police, just to keep the discarded offal of British ruin.

You sicken me because you could have been so much more.

You've got a lot of pent up anger don't you

jerrycucks angry about the spoils just like when you remind them they lost aspirin

>>3308669
Considering the U.S. had the largest economy in the world by 1890 and was still developing from there, it seems very likely that they'd still be in a preeminent position, even without world wars.

Talk shit get hit, Hans.
