You’d also have to pay exit taxes on any assets you’re bringing with you when you go, I think. I think financially the costs of renouncing far outweigh the benefits, most people who emigrate to live in other countries never renounce their citizenship.

Mao believed the national bourgeoisie could collaborate with the other classes of China because of the particular historical conditions of China as a country that had been exploited by western imperialism. In other words the primary contradiction was (is still, I’d say, until US led capitalist bloc is no longer a global menace to the third world and socialism) imperialism, and the national bourgeois has a part to play in combating it. Once that contradiction is resolved, the primary contradiction in is likely to be the bourgeois v proletariat class struggle, but the good news on that front is that the proletariat via the Communist Party already controls the state and all the power that comes with that. The bourgeoisie are not the ones with their hands on the levers of power.

None of this is applicable to the United States. The US is the imperial superpower, the national bourgeoisie of the US has no progressive historical role to play and is in fact reactionary as you say.

I really do wonder what Mao would have done with these jetski dealership owners, or these Texan oil shit heads
