From within. Make no mistake: whatever influence has been or is behind, this is entirely driven by USA citizens.

My long term wish is in 40 years, after civil wars/world war and rebuilding efforts, that we discover a better alternative to democracy; we have gone all in on it the past 200+ years and is utterly exploitable in the information age, as the populace gets less informed and more malleable to any malicious actor. It is a pretty fatal problem if the success of your government model depends on citizens not being total idiots.
My anarchist wish is that we figure out that large states have large benefits but also very large downsides. A country as big as many Western countries have simply no business existing, as they are unworkable. How is it realistic to have a functional government for 300 something millions souls and an area the size of the United States?

I don't know why you would single out western countries when China and India make most of them look like tiny.
