    Well that’s the glass half full version. The slavery and genocide is not a monopoly of the USA though. At some point every major power in existence dabbled their feet into that. I mean it’s happening today. The reality is that lots of people inside and outside the US believe those aesthetics, and that’s a powerful thing to leverage when rebuilding a nation.

    The New Nuremberg trials will be able to dispense with the evil for hopefully a few generations, until it inevitably will come back.

      The US Empire is the world hegemon. It is the country most responsible for current global plunder and genocide. It is still a settler-colony. The aesthetics don’t matter, what matters is that it’s an empire and runs on imperialism, and the way beyond it is a destruction of the empire itself and a new socialist state in its place.

        No need to argue or downvote brother, we are saying the same thing. I’m just saying your socialist state will be more easily digested if it is presented as a continuation of the “dream”.

            I think you just want to win arguments of theoretical concepts.

            We both want the USA to self implode. That’s the common ground I’ll remember from this little interaction.

            Imperialism never needed justification. It’s imperial. Let me know if you need a hand climbing out of your rabbit hole.
