I think it will be in the Sahel region, if the AES alliance (lol) keep being successful the people from the plethora of small and poor neighboring countries will inevitably demand their governments for improvement and we might see something.
Hoping western leftists break off a chunk of America and make it a AES actually. Won't happen because they are always eyeing our countries in the global south for breaking apart. Not directed at you OP.
Yeah, I'd love to see that happen, but I really don't think it's gonna happen any time soon — at least not on a scale larger than one neighborhood for a period of longer than one month. Maybe we'll be proven wrong, though! God willing!

Somewhat agree with you on Honduras. There’s some real class consciousness going on there but they’re also reactionary as hell so it can go either way.
The US fucked so much with Honduras recently, and all because the Zelayas (who were pretty much neoliberals and very rich people) became socdems and were making deals with Venezuela, after the 2009 military coup they developed their own Democratic Socialism ideology but they are still socially conservative on some stuff.
Sahel or somewhere in latin america. i also think this is where we'll start seeing new practical applications of modern socialism from that will be a departure from the early 20th.
I mean we keep steadily growing in Belgium so I won't count us out in Europe. Though it would be a massively hard thing to achieve and we'd probably face violent resistance at some point.
In my future fiction project I think it might've actually been Ryukyu: when war broke out in Korea and Taiwan, the massive expansion of the American military presence in the Ryukyu Islands created intense conflict between locals and the government, and this conflict only worsened as opposition was suppressed. This led to a revitalization of the Ryukyu independence movement and a widespread embrace of revolutionary socialism among locals.
This is certainly not the most "realistic" prediction — the more obvious predictions would be "somewhere in Latin America or the Middle East" as the other commenter said — but the thing about predictions is that so much can change unpredictably in a short time-span, things can butterfly, so it is difficult to say anything with any amount of certainty.

While I agree with the sentiments about Northern Africa and the Sahel countries as most likely, India is my “dark horse” choice. Yes, BJP and fascism is a big problem. But I think along other metrics, it appears that the conditions seem to be matching up. Recently there were those farmer protests that seemed to have a heavy communist influence that were like the largest protests in human history (I recall something like 200 million people participated in the protest). There’s quite a ways to go but I would not be surprised to see India go communist in this century.
You mean the US puppets that were used for strategic purposes for helping the US do imperialism and counter regional counterweights to the west such as Iran and its allies?
The same ones who helped whether they like it or not the current Islamist extremists overthrow Syria and have thus been a part of turning it into Libya 2.0?

Well, I happen to think that non-"white" people have agency. Why couldn't it have been that Rojava used the US to achieve its goals? I am not denying that some US goals and SDF/Rojava goals aligned, but why should we strip SDF of agency and say they are mindless puppets controlled by the US?
Man this reddit-tier comment structure fucking sucks. It's not even worth paying attention to because you wrote it like that. Just talk like you're talking to a human please.
