As analyzed by Debs in the Rise of Socialism and Communism, the US provided a neccesary period of transition in which mercantilist policies could become capitalist, and eventually socialist.
The US was one of the first modern nations to adopt a Constituition, which has since been mimicked in a number of nations that are in the Nationalist Union.
Finally, the US also provided the basic outline for a peaceful transition from a capitalist nation to a socialist nation.
