As in, the people, or the state? Like, do the people remain, but the government is abolished?

If people, none, I'm not a genocidal monster.

If the state, the United States of America, the Global South would be far better off without the genocidal US Empire. Would also free Palestine without US backing of Israel.

Of course the people would remain, I should’ve worded my post better.

Then I stick with my United States answer, the US Empire is holding the world back and needs to be overthrown, ideally from within.
