America into a re-vitalized, progressive nation with strong social welfare. (This may sound absurd, but I have a whole set of reasonings and indicators supporting this that are too long to elaborate here)

How’d that one work out?

    You do also think that the US stays monolithic hegemomial due to the dollar game, while the multipolar world doesn’t come to fruition. I do think that if industrial capacity somewhere else is destroyed then other places will get to the forefront, this doesn’t have to be the USA.

      Your question is already covered in my Stage 3 paragraphs - there will be a transition period where the rerouting of global supply chain will take time (a decade or two, if not more) to completely replace the Chinese exporters. This will be the phase when neoliberal capitalism will be at its weakest, which contradictorily also the moment when it is securing its victory over industrial capital.

      Think about it this way: if the parasite (finance capital) is killing its hosts (industrial capital) faster than its hosts can reproduce, then you will come to a point when the parasite will run out of hosts to feed on. That will be its weakest moment, until more hosts become available for them to feed again (industrial capital being funneled to the other countries). So during this transition period, in order to survive, the parasite has to rely on some form of self-feeding or a limited ability of converting external food sources for energy (re-industrialization).
