250: America at a Crossroads

By: Levi, Roméo

July 4, 2026 marks 250 years of American independence. It also marks the average lifespan of history's greatest empires. Are we next?

250: America at a Crossroads is a 600-year, historical-materialist analysis of the development of the base and superstructure within the United States, its role in the international order, and its resulting modern conflicts. From the Doctrine of Discovery and the primitive accumulation of colonialism to the modern dawn of Technofeudalism and AI, this book reveals that the crises we face today are not random-they are the inevitable contradictions of a specific world order.

Why does the US have the largest prison population? Why have real wages stagnated for 50 years? Why are immigration, race, and birthright citizenship under such fierce attack? Why are we barreling toward ecological and fertility crises?

By answering these defining questions and more, 250 strips away the surface-level narratives to expose the machinery beneath: a system built on cheap labor, divided workforces, and the relentless pursuit of profit. From the enclosure of the commons to the offshoring of the Rust Belt, and from the slave catcher to the modern border agent, the tactics of the ruling class have remained remarkably consistent.

The contradictions of our society are compounding. America is at a crossroads. One path continues the familiar cycle of hierarchy and inequality until societal collapse. The other requires a fundamental reimagining of our world.

A powerful, multidisciplinary critique of racial capitalism, imperialism, and the precariat class, 250 is an urgent roadmap for understanding our past-and fighting for our future.
